Its hard to find this, seems to be that 06913 is en-US and 06914 is en-GB, or en-US for Europe.

2 Users from UK have reported that Paypal sends them to a Danish version of the donation page.

satosi has indicated that this issue is specifically referring to donating to Aeroglass and not to MSFN. Moving topic.

The memory address looks to be "out of bounds" so there is no way to have less physical memory in the system?

In most cases, I see this message due to a delay in explorer. Such as if I were to create a folder called "New Folder" then rename it and save a file into it, Explorer will sometimes give me an error of "can't find new folder" even though the folder has been renamed and I chose that name to save into. So there is this to remember, whatever it is causes this situation, can have some possible relation to other issues. First need to know where this folder is that is having the problem. There are these types of locations: - Root of C - In protected location (Program Files, Windows, System32, etc) - In a profile (any public folder in C:\Users\account such as Desktop, Documents, etc) - On removable media - Network location - Other physical non-removable disk. For testing, we would want to have this on a hard drive, not in a profile, root or protected location to start. And then see if Explorer can rename it or not. It would be good to know if Explorer has this problem with folders in certain places and not others. If Explorer cannot rename the folder (for each location tested) you also want to try to do a rename with the command prompt.

Try using another browser or computer if you can. I know on some sites I have some problem getting redirected to proper sites (for example when I go to steam, it is in Polish) but it is just one browser for me and others do not have the problem.

I think there needs to be some re-wording, of the "privacy" industry as a whole. Microsoft is not protecting your privacy because it is viewing and saving everything. What they are talking about is to protect against OTHER people or firms from seeing your history. In a real world situation, it would be relatable to an agreement with a security company... say you have your home set up with cameras in every room (including the bathroom and under your covers), the security monitoring company would say it would not share your data with other people. But truly, there is no privacy in that situation.

Re not making the dmp files, what does your virtual memory settings look like? I have a Embedded system that when it BSOD it says it is writing the dmp file, but doesn't because the pagefile is disabled/vm set to 0.

Is this about Aeroglass Producer Bigmuscle or MSFN?

How, exactly, does that look anything like Windows 7? Maybe they were referring to something not in the screenshot. For Outlook, I would never use app version or .exe version. It has been many years since I used an actual email client. It is much safer to use web based in comparison. But that Outlook has a lot of extra space in it.

Retail and OEM System Builder can still be sold because they are physical items. A company can sell them with no issue. What they cannot do is offer for sale a new computer and have Windows 7 pre-installed on it. There are ways around it, if you are a VAR/SB you can sell a person a computer with blank hard drive, and then also sell them a System Builder Win7 and ask if they want it to be installed for them. Sure, this is ok, as it is post-sale favors.

We have the ability to reduce fraud in the US now, but it isn't being used. It was introduced, some time last year, with a big push to have chip readers. This is said to combat against people who could clone magnetic strips, but the implementation is not being used properly. This is a proper 2FA type system but the credit card companies are only using it for one factor vs the other. Now it is they either read the strip or read the chip (neither of which are secure) but it should be reading from both. I think I'd rather see the current technology used properly first before seeing if we need to roll out even newer things.

Clairification, I had only checked US distribution, I checked specifically the Windows 7 Pro SP1 en-US, 6x disty with a total around 10,000. That number would not include places like Amazon, as they are not something I can find out about, or any other retailer/VAR type place. And it is true, once disty runs out, you are then only left with what is in the secondary market.

Oh so your intention is to run the Emsisoft and have Defender off, but Defender becomes enabled on its own after a while?

Does Defender work fine if you don't have the Emsisoft load at startup?

Welcome to the MSFN!

Yes the end-of-sale date for Windows 7 is not so cut and dry. It means OEMs cannot pre-install it anymore except for RMA scenario. Also it cannot be advertised on a website or a flyer for sale. Direct OEMs are still allowed to sell remaining stock if they have COAs. That is for direct version, OEM Facilitated Downgrades cannot be done at all. For OEM System Builder Kit, it is different. I believe that it is still true that it cannot be advertised for pre-install on a new computer, but can be made available for sale as the kit. If you were to call up a company and ask for it, and they have it, then you can buy a computer with it pre-installed. The end-of-sale is just for advertising. There is no "legal" part to it, you can still sell Vista or XP if you had the kits. It depends on the type of company that it is. If it is just a small computer/repair shop that is not a MS shop (as in, they do not operate under contracts) they can still sell a computer with XP if they had the media/COA for it. I think even System Builders may be able to do this, but certainly big OEMs can not. I checked distribution. There is a ton of Win7 Pro SP1 x64 System Builder Kit still available.

I don't think I have ever attempted to boot Vista on GPT before, but I am wary of what those links say. Specifically, I would trust less UEFI 2.3.1 for Vista than 2.0, however UEFI 2.0 usually does not work for desktop OSes in my experience anyways. It is tricky because I have only ever seen UEFI 2.0 on server boards and some (Super Micro) workstation boards, and UEFI 2.3.1 is the typical one to find on desktop and and SoC boards. Another issue I see if that modern UEFI 2.3.1 systems, say Intel 8x series chipset and newer, the WinPE is a problem. WinPE2-4 booting in EFI mode can have real problems, which were only fixed in WinPE5 or WinPE10. Random things, like lock-ups, BSOD, black screen/BCD errors, resources not loading properly, software going very slow, all symptoms of booting old PE on modern UEFI. Even happens on stock builds from the OPK/AIK.

With all these different tools to change Windows 10 look, is it still possible to use gradients on title bars?

There are 3 types of OEM media. 1. OEM System Builder Kit: the software you can buy from a distribution house, comes in a white box with hologram DVD and COA label. 2. OEM OS that the OEM uses to pre-install Windows onto a new computer for sale. This comes from Microsoft, previously "white-label" media, MS does not ship this anymore. 3. OEM Recovery media, which is a Setup that the OEM uses #2 to create. This is made by a Replicator (presses DVDs or makes USB keys) In the physical wise, and bit-wise, #1 and #2 are different. An OEM should not use System Builder media to make a pre-install image because they have access to the appropriate media. I think with Windows 8.1 and 10, it is possible to actually do this, but in the past with XP, Vista and 7, it would not work or activate properly. And of course, bit-wise it is also different, for the previous OS examples. #2 is created by the OEM and is not likely to be identical to the source media. Even from MS perspective, they are different, they have different part numbers and often contain different updates and of course end up being different file sizes. And do not confuse what is technically possible with what is allowed by license. Windows 8.0 OEM System Builder Kit under Personal Use License (like Retail) is allowed to be transferred to different computers. Windows 7, 8.1 or newer OEM System Builder Kit, or OEM pre-installed (COA with OEM's name on it) are not allowed to be transferred. MS makes so many different licensed versions of Windows, it becomes complicated. End users don't have to worry so much, even if they are technically violating the license. But if you are in a company, then your company should always follow the licensing rule because Microsoft does do audits for license compliance among other things.

That's quite simple. Many companies do not want to use or cannot use Windows 10, and Windows 7 is end of sale. So this leaves only distribution (which I'm not sure what the stock levels are at, I can check next week) or the secondary market to obtain Windows 7 licenses. Companies are the big factor here because they have more purchasing power in the desktop/notebook market than average consumers. The only way for a company to purchase a new computer with Windows 7 now is to use Embedded. What ends up happening is that the secondary market dries up quickly. The same happened to XP when it went end of sale and people didn't want to buy Vista.

Personal Use License is only available for Windows 8 OEM System Builder Kit editions. The ones in the pop-up when you visit that page. It is for 8.0 ONLY, it is not available for 8.1 or 10.
