[QUOTE="Fuzzfas, post: 854901, member: 4553"] About this since i didn't cover it before. Fear not, there are other forums in the internet with very skilled people that don't run just anything and the "hack" consists in an edit in the deviceID, which makes Windows think (accept) that it's installing the USB driver of Ryzen 2000, while it's Ryzen 3000. The driver works just fine, it's just MS that pressed AMD not to issue the driver itself. He even put "perhaps" in there, which is more than most can say. It's called an opinion, about his own self and configuration no less. Again, you are talking to yourself. WHO the hell is the average Joe that h e advised? He opened the topic himself to show his new config? Who is this Average Joe? Judging by the levels, it must be me. Or are the average Joes expecting to decided what to do by reading what some Joe Doe in a forum will say about himself? I just put "Death of Windows 7?" in google. I have the choice of reading "Techradar", "betanews", "PCWorld", "The Register", "Tom's Hardware", just to mention the first page, but the Average Joe instead will come to follow [USER=76297]@poirotz[/USER] in this specific thread? Please... Or are the "Average Joes" those in the help section that disappear with 5 posts, but now they will all pour in to learn from [USER=76297]@poirotz[/USER] ? Why don't the forum gurus make a sticky instead "Forum Reccomendation For Win7 EOL" and let the "Win7 plebeans" a corner to have a discussion too? He did add perhaps at least! How often do you see that in a forum? Every forum has its quirks, i don't follow this one closely to have understood every rule. I just try to find some common logic in all this. At the end of the day, the proof is in the pudding, because everyone has an opinion. What you have keeps you clean? It works. I got it and will wrap up what one can read in this forum: - If you have very little security with Win7, you are foolhardy, which means you should go to Win10. - If you have a medium number of programs, you are at risk, which will go away with Win10, even with just out of the box security. - If you have overkill, it means you are not confident enough, which means you should go to Win10. And if you say otherwise, you will be castigated because some lurking "average Joe", might follow your bad example and be doomed. Well, yes, it all makes sense now. Thank God, i have still the "Win7 clandestine forum" with the "hacked" drivers, where Win7 users can still say whatever they please. I will make a proposal to call it "Win7 Underground" now that Win7 isn't safe anymore. Every software in the world, isn't the preferred target of every aspiring malware writer. We both know that.
