    On Activation (vs not)


    So I am wondering about Pros/Cons of activation (not prirate version but just leaving as not activated). This would seem to be a way to stop the forced updates (for Home version). I understand the watermark is gone (from Win7/8 days), and you lose updates (which is good IMHO), but do you lose any other functionality by leaving unactivated/non-genuine (even though you have legit key)

    :)

  2. Help me! I'm Insider but I can't active my Windows 10

    How did you determine that it had activated permanently vs. merely activating the build?

    Nokia 808 Pureview, focusing problems

    Minimum distance between the camera and the object should be 15 cm and if the distance gets shorter than that then you will get a dim picture. Try activating the close up mode in the creative mood on the touch screen. The Nokia 808 pureview camera is still
    better than the lot of latest mobile camera's available today -
    Pixelmaster vs pureview vs ultrapixel vs megapixel

    On Activation (vs not)

    If asking about Windows Activation there's 2 things to keep in mind, one is that with a clean install you usually have 30 days but with a reinstall you might get only 3 days [have run into that several times]. Activation is required at some point or risk reduced functionality, have not seen a list of what that reduction comprises.

    why do you not want updates?

    Too often, updates break things. I would rather control when/if they happen

  7. As far as I know you will get ever increasing reduced functionality. Forced reboots too I think.
