I just released a new video about Installing Windows 8.1. I understand the topic may not be that interesting, but I am trying a new style of video that incorporates related topics. If you have a chance to check out the video, please let me know what you think. I appreciate the feedback. Thank you! 

This format is better

I periodically get requests to make longer videos and videos only need to be as long as they need to be. What would make a video both longer and enjoyable in your opinion? 

Talk slower, pause between steps, and use segment intros

Be more beginner focused and explain everything as if it is new

include discussion of things related to the main topic.

Include tangential ramblings unrelated to the main topic.

When you think of using Windows 7 Forever, what does "Forever" mean to you? 

As long as I want to use Windows 7

Being able to use Windows 7 for my lifetime

The entirety of human existence

For Windows users, what's stopping you from switching to Linux? 

Seems too complicated

Incompatible software

Tried it before and it just didn't work for me

I don't have the time to learn something new
