If you never had any account until now, what data could possibly have been stolen?

hey it is friday afternoon for alot of us. IT is something to do to pass the time instead of our real life jobs don't ya know. HAcking some nobody who we barely know for money that he/she/it doesn't have. so we can not fund our obsession with new hardware to support the growing industry made upon our backs.
hmmmm, I think this is totally a joke. and it isn't even April 1st yet.

That's racist. I'm submitting a "steal his email and other data" request to the authorities as retribution. My ancestors may even ask for reparations.

I presume that any system that runs FreeDOS will be able to run Windows 10 (is that accurate?)
I might have an old Windows 7 license product code, but AIUI, one needs a "retail" license to move it to a brand new install. Also, it would seem that these days, I should be able to buy it and have it delivered "electronically" rather than wait for a CD, etc., but it seems that Amazon sells only in the form of some media.
EDIT: I have a Windows 7 Home Premium ID & key. I don't think I've ever installed it, but even if, it hasn't been used in a LONG TIME.

Windows 10 is free from microsoft on their web site. using media creator you can burn a dvd or usb stick and boot that and install. No key code no nuthin.
|
|
|
|
|
Are you sure it's FREE for systems that only have FreeDOS loaded?
|
|
|
|
|
No but with the windows 10 setup in drive options you can wipe the drive clean and start out anew with a gpt partition and forget you ever had freedos.

You can download and install it for free, but after some time (3 days, IIRC), it will start requesting that you authenticate it with a license code, and after 30 days it will start shutting down after being on for a while.
If you have a valid Windows 7 license code, you used to be able to register with that. I don't know if that is still possible, but it is worth trying. Otherwise, you can buy a license (after installation) from the Microsoft site. Prices vary by country.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Hardware-wise? Maybe, maybe not. The recommended system requirements for FreeDOS are pretty light: Intel ‘386 or better processor, 2MB or more memory, and 40MB disk space.
Windows 10 requires:
Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC
RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit
Hard disk space: 16 GB for 32-bit OS or 20 GB for 64-bit OS
Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver
Display: 800 x 600
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I think my new system far exceeds these minimum specs.

*plays Nevermind*
I just got GFX working on a Wio Terminal which is a 32-bit Atmel system, which is an entirely different architecture than an ESP32. I *think* it also works on my STM32 boards but I'm having issues wiring those to test. (I hate the Nucleo boards). It works on PC too, albeit slowly because DirectX and GFX work entirely differently, but for prototyping it's fine - and the drawing library itself is fine on PC, it's the DirectX driver I wrote that's slow. Still, it works.
Anyway, it's starting to get to the point where I need to find things it *won't* run on, and that's a good problem to have.
That and at least on some platforms it can take advantage of native performance features.
GFX is my first serious attempt at writing massively cross platform code, because it's the first time I've really needed to target more than even a few platforms. I'm happy with the result.
Sometimes I think my 30+ years of experience carries me to where I can branch out into areas I haven't treaded before and find my footing. It's nice.

I was trying to find something still in the "butterfly" realm -- and was completely "cocooned"! Never had a chance. (Not that I usually have a clue anyway...)
|

...and my google-fu is failing: I find lots of stuff, like monday.com, etc., for businesses, but I want something simpler, preferably free / low cost, that is more local community oriented.
Any suggestions?
