I want to get Lumia 735 that can be updated to Windows Mobile 10.
But Im still wondering if it is possible to play pc games through the Windows 10 desktop, and with the Lumia 735 to become the second pc.

I think it'll be like Windows RT where you have to use the Store to install apps, including games. And those apps/games would also have to run on ARM.

Just stick with 7 for now I think

Microsoft slips user-tracking tools into Windows 7, 8 amidst
Windows 10 privacy storm:


"Windows 10 is a deliciously good operating system, all things
considered, but its abundant user-tracking has prompted many privacy-
minded individuals to stay pat with older versions of Windows. Now,
Microsoft’s providing those concerned individuals a reason to upgrade.

No, the company’s not walking back its privacy-encroaching features.
Instead, Microsoft’s quietly rolling out updates that bake new tracking
tools into Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Yes, really."

See the thing with 7 is, you have the option to refuse upgrades. Not so with 10

Quick question(s): So, I was wondering, I currently have a sh*t ton of anime and some other things (music mainly) on my computer that are, for all intents and purposes, not truly legal; if I update to Windows 10 will these files be flagged somehow? If so, would simply moving them to an external hard drive solve the problem?

Sorry if this question has been asked already, I did a cursory search here and didn't see it right away.

No. The only things getting flagged is pirated apps from the app store and Xbox live stuff. People didn't read the terms of service correctly

Microsoft is downloading Windows 10 to PCs, even if you
don’t “reserve” a copy:


"According to The Inquirer, the situation was first reported by an
anonymous reader who claimed to have discovered a hidden directory
called $Windows.~BT on his computer, despite not opting in for a free
upgrade to Windows 10. The directory weighed in at "3.5GB to 6GB,"
according to the reader.

“I thought Microsoft [said] this 'upgrade' was optional. If so, why is it
being pushed out to so many computers where it wasn't reserved, and
why does it try to install over and over again?” he told the outlet."

Look. Most PC users aren't IT savvy. They put everything in automatic. MS should have the decency of not wasting users HDD space and BW.

Oh no, I wasn't excusing MS in anyway...I personally loathe them and their smart ass decisions. But in the absence of a viable alternative OS at the moment that can run the bulk of the programs most users use, it's the best course you can take. Unless you are willing to take the trade offs that Linux offers

I'm not an IT and even I'm not that dumb with computers. People should honestly take some time to go learn how to use a computer. They aren't going away anytime in the future. Either that or go "it just werks" with macs.

Microsoft tries to clear the air on Windows 10 privacy
furor:


"Executives in Redmond were caught flat-footed after this summer's
Windows 10 launch by charges that the new operating system is spying
on customers. Several new statements for consumers and IT pros today
aim to explain why those accusations are unfounded."

I really don't know why people are griping about windows 10 spying on them since even windows 8 and 8.1 spy on what you're doing and send that information back to M$.

My experience is a case in point since after I started playing the PC version of world of tanks I received an email from the xBox side of M$ with it recommending the xBox360 of world of tanks (which is a console I don't even own, but the account is required for the games app).

Many people have switched from 7.

I'm hoping to get a little advice here

I'm in the market for getting a new laptop (I've had my current one for about 7 years and it's starting to fail on me), and with Black Friday coming up here in the US... well, the best deals are going to be targeted at laptops with Windows 10, especially Toshibas. Now, a good chunk of my activities including getting anime by fan-based means, as I'm going to put (aka torrent). Is it still safe to get Windows 10, considering the whole privacy thing, or should I stick with say, windows 7/8, assuming I can find them still?

I think it's safe using Window 10. But if your paranoid, use a proxy server.

It's fine, microsoft don't care about your anime. they generally don't care about anything that isn't pirating them (xbox live or windows store apps for example).

You can always go the apple or linux way if you are really paranoid about it.

If you're actually thinking about the removal of illegal content, that only relates to the xbone side where it checks for counterfeit software on the console.
