should have just rebuilt bootloader from recovery console.
do you have both linux and windows on the same physical disk?
why do you even need windows bootloader if you have grub or whatever?

>>106967249
>should have just rebuilt bootloader from recovery console.
it didnt want to do it by itself, thats why i tried shrinking the C partition to make a new one for the bootloader on C
>do you have both linux and windows on the same physical disk?
no
>why do you even need windows bootloader if you have grub or whatever?
windows cant boot without its faggy EFI partition
it wont even show up in the bios let alone grub

I have multiple monitors set up as an extended display on Windows 11

Is there a way to add "resistance" to moving my mouse from one screen to the other? I often find I accidentally move my mouse cursor a bit too far to the right and into the next screen when trying to click and drag the page scroll bar, leading to me accidentally clicking and dragging folders on my other display.

Duh, you have to specify boot, recovery and system partitions manually

Since you have already formatted you should wipe partition table entirely and let windows installer sort it out because it needs more than just EFI boot partition to work

Feels good to go back, and yes, I can confirm that the Win10 performance is significantly better than Win11 (to nobody's surprise).

How cooked am I?

My entire PC performs like shit when I have a youtube tab open in ms edge

>>106968873
Memory Integrity isn't even on by default on 10

OK, don't call me crazy, but I need to know the actual cheapest place for a legit Windows 10 licenses or keys.
I need it for my dad's business with 3 PCs and he is scared shitless of using pirated software (he is 55 years old).
They are currently using old-ass 2009-2011 Macs and it is becoming unbearable.
Any suggestions?

>>106969730
If you're this paranoid and scared of MAS leaving a virus on your install:
>install the specific edition you want
>activate with HWID
>completely wipe your drives
>reinstall the genuine Windows ISO
>it will auto-activate the moment your machine has internet access because it's a genuine activation and your machine's HWID is on MS's official servers

>>106969730
I don't know how legit this is, but kinguin.net has some keys for like 11 bucks. But yeah, if he's running a business then he should be scared of using pirated software. It's not worth the risk of having a multi billion dollar company go after your ass

>>106969861
It is not a matter of viruses, it is a matter of not getting fined or fucked by Microsoft or whoever the fuck is responsible for software piracy in LLCs. They don't want to be breaking any laws.

>>106969866
Where does Kinguin get their keys from tho?

>>106969899
They're probably volume licenses. So they're from a batch of keys meant for organizations that resellers extract from. They're more grey than anything, so safest is to just buy the key in a store somewhere so you have proof of purchase.

>>106969866
>>106969899
>>106969921
Kinguin is probably less safe than using MAS even from a business perspective
I had a friend who bought RDR2 from one of these key resellers back then, and after a couple of days his key was revoked (seller probably bought it with a stolen credit card or some shit)

>>106967268
>windows cant boot without its faggy EFI partition
windows can boot from a 34MB EFI partition if you format it in Linux, ironically.
meanwhile Fedora requires 50MB, Arch requires 512MB, Ubuntu requires 300MB, and CachyOS requires 2GB

>>106969604
And yet that pic is from 11

Is Win 10 LTSC still getting security updates or not?

Today after update+reboot my windows keeps trying to switch to full light mode from mixed but fails.
What do?

>>106969936
you require only as much space as is needed for your bootloader, kernel image and initramfs image (if you use one). distros will have recommendations taking into account the possibility of having multiple kernels/initramfs images, and/or future size requirements

>>106969936
>>106970451
-- oh and even less if you don't use it as your /boot, like fedora clearly doesn't if it's 50M (while you can fit a kernel/initramfs on 50M, it'd be tight unless you only use a host-only set)

it's been this slow the whole time wtf is happening? the flashdrive works fine on another pc but all other flashdrives are fucked on this pc too.

>>106969604
Yeah, but IIRC it didn't give a warning about it in 10. I didn't even really know about it until now. Sure, I can dismiss it, but it goes back to my question: how worried should I be?

>>106971607
You shouldn't be too worried. Just don't be an idiot online i.e. use Firefox with UBO and also just use Common Sense and don't go to malware infested websites.

Heads up anon, I bought a key from g2key to satisfy my moral autism. it worked at first, but on reboot it was flagged as illegitimate. I ended up just using MAS

I still can't believe my official Windows 10 installation media is now retro software.

Look, he can't have it both ways. Either he plays the business game of doing things through legitimate channels and that means biting the bullet and buying a retail copy from the Microsoft Store or he's going to do random shit that ultimately is just pure speculation on legitimacy and legality (that will easily occupy an IP lawyer for hours on end).
Quite honestly, if an LLC is struggling to find $200 for obviously critical business infrastructure, there are bigger issues in the company.

what the fuck does this mean?
enroll into what?

>>106970698
what is the D drive? HDD or SDD?
USB 3.0?
Is the thumbdrive good quality?
install and run Crystaldiskmark and test both drives.
small files take longer to write
fragmented files take longer to read
have you tried the basics like rebooting the PC?

>>106973100
they have extended support which you're expected to pay for (by either paying $30, spending 1,000 "microsoft points", or switching to a microsoft account in windows)

>>106973136
per month? year? week?

>>106973143
one time.
