Re: 16-bit sw in Windows x64
If you install "32-bit Windows 10" and disable all network access, will the OS be automatically deactivate after a number of months/years, or will it happily function until powered down during a few yearly factory downtime maintenance windows ? Basically will it be able to provide decent uptime if it is prevented from phoning home to upload its collected telemetry, while downloading patches, and automatically reboot at least once a month instigated by Microsoft. Will the storage slowly fill up with telemetry that will never be upload ?
Would you trust a machine running a Windows OS to fully control production machines in a factory ? Where downtime in the middle of a production run could end up costing you major contract penalties ?
