This is like a guy who uses roofies on women bragging that he beds down a lot of women. Windows 10 is basically date rape.

FWIW, I've done it on a Dell Laptop. I didn't want to use the Dell installed system, thanks to having all sorts of crap on it, so I downloaded an ISO from MS and then manually downloaded all the drivers I needed from Dell (again, the Belarc Adviser is wonderful for letting you know what HW and drivers are installed, as well as your product keys) so I could do a really clean installation.

“Same here ,, only (tiny) glitch ... on the update remover I just hit enter at the “reboot now” prompt and the script assumed a “Y” when I wanted to wait and reboot later.. I saved the output file from the regedit showing the flag change for disallowing an upgrade in case they get nasty and make these updates “critical”.”

i fixed it.

thanks for the feedback!
