  1. Know how to Google. Use that syntax to find what you're looking for. Batch is also too old and clunky. Use power shell instead. First result of the provided query: https://www.google.com.ph/search?q=windows+7+set+background+pictures+powershell
  2. Google <os version> <task> <method> Windows 7 change background powershell
  3. Did you include the boot manager partition when you clone the drive? It's the ~100mb size.
  4. UPS. It's good to have and don't need it rather than need it and not have it. Your storage will also thank you for it.
  5. What Linus did only applies to local transfers on your LAN; not over the Internet so the answer is yes. It will still work, assuming you have 1000/10000 interface and cable.
  6. Forbes did make a mistake by making it sound worse, but the user who did the testing with 8 and 30 hours traffic monitoring on his win10 enterprise install did it to answer his own question: what connections would the OS try to connect on a fresh install? He did get his answer and it helped me add some more subnets (excluding the local networks) to block for an inbound/outbound rule. As for me, I'll still happily break windows services on my network. I don't care if it's onedrive, windows update, google analytics, etc. They don't own the interface my router is using.
  7. Your views doesn't reflect everyone's. You might not find this topic important, but others do. Not all people will understand how collecting metadata on large number of individuals can lead to. They won't need the actual content in order to infer what you're doing with all the massive metadata they're collecting. Some people will just scoff off the topic as "It's not identifiable information anyway" and "I got nothing to hide/not doing anything illegal". Its what the companies and governments hoping for so they've got obedient subjects to exploit.
  8. Agree or not with telemetry on Windows installs, I want control on what traffic goes out to the Internet. I'll have the prerogative to block out anything that I didn't knowingly and willingly initiate first.
  9. I put the sticker with the date of purchase so I know how old my machine is.
  10. If you're only a home user, go with home premium. On a business environment, you need enterprise or pro/ultimate.
  11. https://superuser.com/questions/642943/using-wi-fi-pci-e-card-as-a-repeater Basically having a windows VM so you can use virtual router, if it supports it. May have a *nix variant as I've not looked deeper.
  12. No. Use something like CCleaner's drive wiper where verything gets overwritten, not just the free space.
  13. I personally never sell any HDDs of mine. I'll secure delete it on a dying drive, but it will sit on a storage somewhere. If you don't mind getting a new HDD to add on the hardware you're selling, get 500GB HDD for cheap.
  14. Windows server and use its File and storage service as you won't do virtualization on that dual core.
