Taking the new "edge" for a spin -
The whole thing is so bad that they needed to change the branding to confuse people? lol
Well, frankly, so many people are off MS's IE or Edge, if the edge icon stayed the same - people would assume it's the same ol' edge and it would stand zero chance of being used short of downloading chrome.

@scottalanmiller oh dear... but in all fairness, I've literally never used the word "jammies" to refer to PJ's or sleepwear of any kind.
LOL, with kids, we use it a lot.
"Go put your jammies on!"
Oh, I've heard it, but "jammies" in my world is a generic plural noun that could be used to refer to literally anything.
I don't follow - "jammies" so a pair for chairs could be jammies?

Well.... kinda. It's a context kind of thing. And jammy is the singular version. Example: *when you need an ethernet card to put in a desktop - "hey bob, hand me that network jammy". Don't make me explain how my brain works!

See.... network jammy. Bluetooth jammies. There is a trend.

I just recently decommissioned some old servers from that era. Sadly, 2 remain until the data moves off them to new servers (but I've considered just shutting them both down to see who cries about it and how long it took for them to complain).

is there a way to tell if a computer is licensed for Windows 10 (currently Windows 7) via a Command Line.
From what I've seen lately, if the machine has a legit, activated Win 7 license, you're eligible to upgrade it win 10 (same edition - home, pro, etc).
thanks. I got this email earlier :
We are getting an error that states Windows 7 is obsolete and we need to use Windows 10 on another computer. When we bought the system, I was of the understanding they would be Windows 10 machines. I specifically asked about the OS because I wanted the system to last 8-10 years. Then we discussed the lifecycle of an OS is 5 years for mainstream support and 5 more for extended support. Please let me know why we were sold Windows 7 that was released in 2009 which would have made it 8 years old upon purchase in 2017. Please let me know what we need to do to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you,The Devices in question are licensed for Windows 10. I wasn't here when the site was installed and He's been to known to bend what was actually said to something that benefits him, a lot in the past year or so.. Regardless the issue is we have to upgrade them to windows 10. I was able to find the SN on a portal from the vendor that tells what it's licensed for.
The machines should also have a sticker on them - either a Windows 10 foil, or a full windows 10 OEM sticker (but i don't think they do OEM stickers anymore).
it has a 8 and 10 sticker. which is really weird but there are 2.
That is weird. Perhaps it came with media for both?
possibly? It was so long ago that I wouldn't be able to find it if i wanted to .
No the thing is : How do I upgrade them to Windows10 without losing data on the hard drives, software.Visit the Windows 10 upgrade website, download the upgrader and click upgrade - then wait 2 hours.
2 hours? Yikes. and Im not sure how the boss is wanting this handled.
That may or may not be an exaggeration. I've had some take 1 hour, I've had some take 4+... so many factors to consider.
makes sense, But since this customer only hold Phone support contract with us My bass has to make that decision as to what we're going to do to get them up to windows 10
They need to buy it now anyway, so just use a full installer. You don't need to do the update to upgrade the license anymore, as it won't be valid anyway.
What makes the Windows 7 license no valid? I've been wondering why you've said this recently.
The Windows 7 license is valid. That is not a question.
That valid Windows 7 license is not valid for a Windows 10 upgrade anymore because Windows 7 is no longer supported. The Windows 10 upgrade terms state that it must be a valid and supported license.

Of course Scott doesn't believe people like this exist.
No, I believe that they are insanely unlikely and that people lie to themselves (that's you, not him) because it makes you feel better to believe that he's an idiot than that he's a piece of shit. But realistically, the one is essentially impossible, and the other is incredibly likely. I've never said that truly stupid people don't exist, I just keep pointing out that believing that it is the case with any regularity when there is no evidence to support is makes no sense. Nothing here makes him likely to be stupid. He didn't say something dumb, he said something unethical that you can, at a stretch, explain by him being dumb. But he's making good money, so the chances that he's super moronic, yet successful, just isn't likely. But that he's successful and unethical, is extremely likely.
There is endless evidence to support him not being an idiot, or at least a complete one. There is no evidence of him being an idiot, every time something seemingly dumb happens, there is a million times more likely explanation that he is simply self serving and doesn't care about the customer.
