Windows 10 made a brick out of my laptop

What machine are you running (manufacturer, model number, how much RAM, HDD type & size)?

What machine are you running (manufacturer, model number, how much RAM, HDD type & size)?

This thread is 4 years old. It's probably moot.

Thanks, @Vanadium 50 $-$ I caught the resurrection, and didn't check the origin $\dots$

I'm not against people deploring some things about Windows; however, I think that anyone who wants to run it in a multi-boot configuration has even more reason to disable updates, and I think that no OS should alter anything in the BIOS or the boot sector without explicitly being directed by the user to do so.

Windows 7 hoạt động rất tốt, với một vài sai sót

That, according to google (terms: vietnamese english translation), means 'Windows 7 works very well, with a few flaws'.

@mikejo $-$ nothing against Vietnamese, and I'm not a Mentor/Moderator here; however, English is the lingua franca (accepted common language) here $-$ other languages should be translated to English, so that lack of a common language is not the barrier to mutual understanding that it otherwise might be.

If everyone whose first language is not English translates to and from English, that requires $2n$ one-way translators; however, if every language has to be translated to and from every other language, that requires $\frac n 2 (n+1)$ one-way translators $-$ that triangular number is $> 2n$ for any $n>3$.
