and forcing 10 on 7 and 8 users by downloadnig it onto their boxes when they didnt ask for it.
I figured MSFT was due for a ‘good’ OS, after the debacle of Win-8, so I registered for the Win-10 auto update. Got on the ‘list’ and a week or so later got a notice that my upgrade was ready. It tried auto install 9 time; failed every time. I finally did a manual install, per the MSFT instructions.
Fired it up.
Looked good.
But, then...couldn’t open the Windows Store, couldn’t install new software, and my internet connection started giving me fits; dropping every couple of hours.
Screwed around with it for 10 days, working all the suggestions on several blogs and MSFT forums.
Had enough.
Restored back to my old Windows-7 Home Premium, two days ago.
No issues. Everything works as it did. And, no internet connectivity issues since.
They can keep that new (P)OS.
Today for the *second* time I had to remove KB3035583, the Win7 update that gives you the annoying upgrade-to-WIN10. Damned thing just keeps coming back. From now on I’m going to have to look over every single WIN7 update before installing, and I should not have to do that.
BTW, that is my work computer; all my computers at home have been Linux for the last four years, and I could not be happier.
