ugh thank god, NTlite was so annoying with its pro version.

that program wont do anything for me. nothing but errors and whinging about buying the program... scratch that idea.

It's not over until Microsoft tells us it is...

And my sons computer that I cancelled the update on, did it anyway, the next night. :mad:

My parents PC got "upgraded" to stupid Windows 10 without any permission or warning!!!!!!!!! What gives?!

Only solution is doing updates manually on patch tuesday, works for me.

i've just advised anyone on w7/w8 to disable the windows update service til it blows over.

the CPU/HDD activity, ~2GB of lost ram and bandwidth with the ~3GB update is just a killer for people with low spec systems, or people with broadband caps.

Not really, they have been very lenient towards nlite and such in the past. Now that nlite supports Windows 10 I wonder if that'll continue longterm though...

That's fantastic. I remember it was such a drag when the project shut down. The news articles at the time said it was because Microsoft didn't want him doing it, plus they offered him a job.

I see that the latest version of nLite is dated September 2014 so I'd use it with Windows 10 with caution.

NTlite is the new W10 supporting version, but you need to pay for it to do anything useful with it.

Yup for weak machines it's hell on Earth. All updates are packed, and unpacking + installing process is really CPU and HDD hungry. For example Intel Graphics or Realtek Audio driver packs on Microsoft Update Catalog are about 100 MB, after extracting and installation they get bigger than 500 MB lol.

edit: It's even worse for Windows 7 with that frigging .net framework 3.5 updates

I see there's also a cut down freebie version if someone wants to try it.

The most expensive version is listed as being "host-machine unbound", so I wonder if there's some sort of product activation locking it to one machine? I got stitched up like this with Hard Disc Sentinel as they didn't declare that the licence key would lock it like this. As good as it is, I wouldn't have bothered with it had I known. :shadedshu:

the freebie version lets you make ISO's but not really modify them. almost every option is for the paid only.

I liked this one....always wanted to purchase SkyRim because of the beautiful scenery(and I think it would run on my laptop), just never seem to have the extra cash when it's on sale.

Everyone have a GREAT day!
