    I put this in another thread: It’s not a big deal. They’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script, which is just this:


    @echo off

    reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    shutdown /r /t 0


    You can still use shift-F10 at the same point, type those two lines (not the @ECHO OFF), and it will achieve the same result.

        if someone says linux is hard to learn, that person isn’t making regestry edits.

        That said, windows used to be intuitive, but they peaked with xp and it’s been a downhill slide since.

        I mean, not really. You had to open command prompt anyways. The command is just a bit different now. There’s no monetary penalty here, just a few more keystrokes.

      So you’re telling me 2% of new Window’s users won’t be forced to make an account? Neat!

      This is not about the technically savvy. The populace is being conditioned into not owning what they purchase. This will in turn make everyone’s life worse.
