mindcraft or Minecraft?

 

EDIT: taking pictures from Minecraft is not Minecraft. Showing other titles in menu is not Minecraft. Are you sure this is a legally obtained copy?

Oh... mah gawd... I want to know a little bit more why you use Win7 over Win10. You can upgrade for free if you have a valid license key from Microsoft. It might run better

one day ill have too but i hate windows 10 for the spyware and you have to do a tone of work to get "rid" of it. i kind did on my laptop but kortona didn't go with out a fight....but its probably still there i just probably got rid of the icon...

 

the probmen is i dont want to have to hack my os every time i need to reinstall the os. if i had a iso with is all ready gone then that be fine but that's probably in the gray area.... in you no what i mean

What exactly is spyware to you on a clean install? Also there are decrapifier/anti bloatware scripts

I think cortana is linked to Edge, which is linked to Bing. Also, on a clean install you have the option to enable/disable Cortana

i use firefox so no bing or edge ya "disable" until you get an update that reanables it.

 

forced updates is another thing

I use chrome, personally. Forced updates really only happen in 7, with 10 you can schedule to update outside of "active hours" or overnight
