Can't we just get past the fact things there are the way they are, he has no power over any of it, and isn't able to expose any of it for fear of prematurely losing his job? I mean, what is there left to discuss of this?
This has been going on ever since I started this job over a year ago.
Why do you stay there and continue to deal with their shit?
Honestly? no idea.. At this point I dont have experience to go anywhere else or do anything else.
Right, he wants to leave. But not badly enough. That's why these threads matter. He has bosses above him that try to convince him that they aren't as bad as they are. He's trapped there for now, he can't just leave. If he was free to relocate we had a job for him two weeks ago that would have been a zero discussion "here's your new job" situation. But he couldn't take it. He's in a terrible market without a lot of experience.
This is news to me. . .
We knew you couldn't move so didn't rub it in your face. But we had a guaranteed slot for you in Salt Lake City.
Same scenario here. I’d hire him for my part time plus more hours job but he hast to get to St. Louis and I know he can not do that.

I never got the interview - thats what I meant by No call back or email .
I called to follow up on my Applications, but was told they'd call me for an interview. -

Well in cases like that I would just keep applying to other posted jobs. They very likely could've found a candidate for the position at your price point and with more experience (or whatever) and opt'd to not follow through on the process.

You said you were looking at a few. That implies you were looking at a few jobs. Thus I replied, apply.

free
Windows 10 is NOT a free upgrade and hasn't been for quite some time.
While Microsoft still keeps the update/licensing server active (for some unknown reason), they have repeatedly stated that only machines licensed PRIOR to July 29, 2016 are actually legally entitled to this.Anyone upgrading to Windows 10 "for free" after this date is in direct violation of their TOS.
Is the Windows 10 free upgrade offer still available?
The Windows 10 free upgrade through the Get Windows 10 (GWX) app ended on July 29, 2016.
Do I still qualify for the free upgrade offer if I've already downloaded Windows 10 to a USB drive, but haven't yet upgraded my device?
All upgrades must have completed and reached the "Welcome" screen by 11:59 PM UTC-10 (Hawaii) on July 29, 2016; this is one worldwide point in time.https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/12435/windows-10-upgrade-faq

This ignores a different upgrade path that is open to all and still available. That path was closed, but wasn't useful.

https://www.zdnet.com/article/heres-how-you-can-still-get-a-free-windows-10-upgrade/
"Microsoft's much-hyped free upgrade offer for Windows 10 ended in 2016, right? Not exactly. The GWX tool may be gone, but all the other upgrade tools still work. The end result is an apparently valid digital license, and there's no evidence that the free upgrades will end any time soon."

I asked my boss again why we don't upgrade from windows 7 to windows 10 on customer Servers as we were talking about this call and he said :
"Because that's not how we do things. If you upgrade to free windows 10 - we dont know what problems come from that, we dont know if it will work with the set up we have. SO when it comes to upgrading Windows Versions - we dont sell windows we sell Aloha, and you have to think of what's best for the customer and what's best for the company- If you upgrade them for free and it doesn't fix the problem then you just caused more problems down the road. not to mention older PC's running windows 10 that may be having hardware problems as well as software. So we sell them a new PC put out image on it that we know works - It's best for the Customer as they get newer equipment and Windows 10- instead of potentially causing problems with upgrading.
Besides, we dont upgrade Windows Versions."This makes sense to me.
You have problems with an old computer, you spend enough time and can't resolve it -> reimage with win7.
You still have problems -> new computer with win10It doesn't make sense to upgrade old stuff to windows 10. It only makes sense to run with supported hardware and software combinations, whatever that may be.
Otherwise you'll just lose money trying to fix old crap that is probably out of warranty and should have been replaced anyhow.

Otherwise you'll just lose money trying to fix old crap that is probably out of warranty and should have been replaced anyhow.Except it's not like Windows 10 doesn't support "old hardware". If it is that old, it's probably a problem otherwise. If it is new enough to be viable running currently, then Windows 10 makes sense. Basically if Win 10 is an issue here at all, it's exposing an already existing issue.
And just testing Windows 10 costs almost no time. If it doesn't work on the hardware, you just move on. They are already having issues with Windows 7, so the idea that Windows 7 "just works" and Windows 10 does not, doesn't apply.
If Windows 10 wasn't supported, that's one thing. But that's a big assumption when they are running an environment that is out of support. So what they are doing today isn't supported, so any logic that rules out Windows 10 would have long ago ruled out what they are doing.

No, you have no idea how the software works. You have no idea what drivers they have for the hardware that they run. A lot of things have changed from windows 7 to windows 10.
