(quoted from post at 17:42:20 07/25/16) 10 has automatic updates from MS that you can't stop. If the computer is plugged into the internet, it will turn itself on and connect to MS and start downloading all kinds of worthless files that some H1-B at MS thinks are important. I didn't know this when I got a new 10 netbook, and it ate $20 worth of my data in 3 nights; and I wasn't using the computer! It was all MS BS.
I've been looking for some way to stop it, but no luck so far.
(quoted from post at 03:16:40 07/27/16) Get it done. I once worked with a guy who said he would never move off Windows 3.1. Ironically he worked in IT, and was trying to hold an entire business back in the stone ages, and he was sure that Windows 98 was of the devil. Sounds familiar. No, I do not work or get paid from Microsoft, but I do work in IT, and sooner or later you will move on either due to hardware or software issues. Oh, and I never recommend doing an upgrade......wipe the drive and fresh install is always best.
This. I am suspicious of why MS is giving something for free. Unless they plan to charge for it somehow. Also to play Solitaire on win 10 you have to pay now.(quoted from post at 18:46:28 07/25/16) Rather than down load the "free" Windows 10 program I down loaded a "free" program that blocks Window 10 from down loading. The support deadline for windows 8 is 2023. That is seven years from now. I never have had a computer last more than 4-5 years and this one is already two years old. So even though I do not like windows 8 near as well as XP I will keep it over Windows 10. I think many will find the intrusion of Microsoft into your computing world to be a major turn off. I think this will back fire over the long term for Microsoft. I really hope Microsoft gets in trouble so there will be other options for computer operating systems.
I used to be a supporter of Microsoft's products but that has ended. So now I am a reluctant user of their products. This change may seem minor but it makes me look at other options before I will try anything "new" from Microsoft.
oops! I apologize for the misinformation.(quoted from post at 03:33:18 07/27/16) No you don't. I play it constantly on 10 at work, uh, in my spare time, when I'm not doing anything at lunch time, yea, that's its!
Seriously, I have it here at home and at work and play all of the card games a lot and have never been asked to pay.
(quoted from post at 09:21:16 07/26/16) Lack of a means to re-install after the end of the "free" upgrade is a deal breaker for me. I want a clear path to recovery after a hard disk crash or a motherboard failure.
