[07:27]<Veltas> BC_Programming: Seriously I know why they're trying to automatically do everyone's drivers but it's so unreliable
[07:27]<Veltas> I've had it break all sorts of hardware trying to automatically install drivers
[07:27]<Veltas> I mean er break hardware temporarily, not actually brick anything
[07:27]<Veltas> yet
[07:44]<@BC_Programming> Thankfully it didn't cause problems, though I had to hard power off
[20:42]<+camerongray> Yeah, Windows 10 is a bit of a pain
[20:42]<+camerongray> Today at work I discovered that it doesn't accept Dell OEM Windows 7 keys to install 10
[20:42]<+camerongray> Then discovered it also doesn't accept it when Windows is activated using the Dell SLIC
[20:42]<+camerongray> Had to reinstall Windows 3 bloody times on 2 PCs
[20:43]<+camerongray> We're currently getting everything onto 10 before the free upgrade runs out
[20:52]<+camerongray> The Windows 10 upgrades also came along with SSDs which resulted in this beautiful solution: https://imgur.com/XzWICLy
[20:55]<@BC_Programming> My plan was to upgrade my desktop if my MVP Award didn't get renewed, but I got reawarded somehow after all for 2016...
[20:56]<@BC_Programming> so now my desktop can stay on 8.1 and I can upgrade from MSDN within the next year
[21:13]<+camerongray> Ahh cool
[21:13]<+camerongray> We also finally got Office 365 so that solves a massive headache
[21:14]<+camerongray> Previously used retail packs of Office 2010 so had to keep a spreadsheet of keys to attempt to track what machines they were on
[21:14]<+camerongray> Ended up with comments like "Steve's laptop (Blew up?)"
[21:14]<@BC_Programming> haha
[21:14]<+camerongray> Also means we get Outlook 2016 so we can use ActiveSync
[21:15]<+camerongray> Previously used Thunderbird for email - We use Horde for our mail stuff and it really doesn't like CalDAV calendars
