Disabling Windows Defender via registry hack
You can disable it in the Home version, but it requires the registry. For the average person, you shouldn’t need or want to do this. Just place this in a text file, and change its extension to .bat to run it.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender]“DisableAntiSpyware”=dword:00000001 Re-enable it with:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender]“DisableAntiSpyware”=dword:00000000

I got my copy of W8 (now 10) for less than $15 thanks to a student discount.
Both Adblock and Adblock Plus is available for Edge now. Won’t be able to use them until Edge gets extensions support in the anniversary update for Win 10 though (or if people are using insider builds/previews).

I see the deadline to get Windows 10 for free is approaching. Going to jump on it as soon as I get back from my work trip.
You all seem fine with it so no real big issues, right? I’ll be upgrading from Windows 7.
My experience with upgrades is don’t.
Clean installs are where its at.
I upgraded my laptop and it went fine.
How To Make Windows 10 Look and Feel Like Windows 7
I still prefer 7.
But everything is coming with 10 these days, and y’know, the latest version of Direct X will eventually become something approaching a necessity.
