starting new job on monday, already received a new laptop... with windows 10... Asked if i can install Linux - absolutely not. Without exceptions.
*very long and slow sigh*
started it up, started customizing. Tried to remove a shortcut from desktop - a popup to login as admin...
*even longer and slower sigh, even though the previous one was near my limit*

can't wait to get started.
P.S. pros still outweigh the cons. but this is gonna be exhausting...

    @hash-table yeah, the problem is that i wasn't told i'd be forced to use windows. I thought it was given that i could use anything. Especially when the company is international and has at least a hundred developers.

    Also, it's php, so windows is not a necessity

    He probably has admin rights, but Windows can be configured to ask by popup every time it wants to do something as admin.

    @CWins no, that's not the case. I don't have admin rights

    That's what I thought cause if you're already admin it doesn't prompt you to login just to click yes

    Not even a local admin account?

    It's not unusual, that the domain user, that can go online & stuff is no admin, but in the companies i know you would get an extra admin account that is only used to install/deinstall/change stuff.
