Uni downgraded PCs from Windows 7 to 10

Win 10 was so good I installed not one but TWO copies on the same computer, on different hard drives (SSD) of course

It only does that if you're on a spinner

Maybe ur university is dog trash Op?

But it doesn't work on the Machines the uni has, so why didn't they stick with 7, which had an acceptable speed on their dogshit PCs.
I would use the Linux machines they have, but those PC-pools don't have printers.

Here's how I guarantee it went down.

Engineer: "Windows 7 is reaching end of life, we should really replace/upgrade these PCs" (probably some hp prodesk with 3rd gen i3s or i5s and an hdd)

Director: "Well my friend/colleague/son told me you can upgrade windows 7 to 10, these PCs are only X years old!!"

Engineer: "That's a really bad idea."

Director: "Think of all the money/time/labor we'll save!!!"

It hurts my soul

OP? Using 4th and 5th gen i5's. Its gotta be more garbage than that. Failing HDD's. If OP wasn't a bitch he'd get hardware info.

>booting
Why do you want to boot more than it's necessary for updates?
>logging on takes 2 minites
What the fuck? It's half a second on my PC with ten.
>printing, the reason I had to use the damn thing
What in the actual fuck?

Win 10 without an SSD is cock and ball torture.
Win 10 with an SSD despite its myriad flaws is one of the best operating systems currently on the market for both every day casual use and power use. Even if your uni's PCs are ancient, with an SSD upgrade they'd still handle Windows 10. It's surprisingly resource efficient when it knows it's running on limited hardware as long as it's got data throughput.
No clue what your printer issue is about though. Even if the printers are ancient their drivers SHOULD be compatible. Maybe it's a network problem.
Can't stick to 7 because those computers have to be on a network and if even one of them is not secure they could compromise the entire network. And 7's support is about to end.
They should have just bit the bullet and bought new hardware. What the fuck are your tuition fees for if not up-to-date hardware?

They're probably using ancient 5400RPM drives and core 2 duos.
