A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Please don't post about US Politics.

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Everyone in this thread is missing that this is just a copy of the OS. OP said nothing about having a computer, or internet, or electricity.

I'll take Windows 7 because it was still issued on DVD which would be useful as a signal mirror for getting rescued.

Errrmmm. So is 11. I have tons. Never take them out if the packaging but I still has them.

Oh, really? I thought they were distributing on USB drives these days. Are they OEM copies?

They may be OEM. I don't really recall. I just buy the cheapest Pros from my local computer shop.

I believe you can DvD, USB, or none. But don't quote me on that.
