I have been sent the upgrade for Win10 - but I have not downloaded it yet - BUT suddenly, every time I log on each morning, my screen locks up.

I really don’t need all the bells and whistles from Win10 - and I’ve about decided to stay with Win7. I just surf the net to familiar, legitimate sites; and to write my books (Shhhhhh); so I don’t care about the graphics stuff or any of the picture stuff/sending, etc.

Do I need to delete the Upgrade - which is my first thought about why I’m getting the screen lockup. I have Norton (newest version); I have LifeLock; etc. And, I’ve never experienced this kind of action upon logging on.

I have another question, but I’ll save it for later.

If you don’t know the answer, please pass my msg on to someone who can.

Thanks.

Apparently you can get beyond the screen lock up.

Since you haven't downloaded it and haven't installed it. . . it may not be the responsible party for your screen lockups. It may be some other problem. . . perhaps some other malware that may have piggy-backed on the means MS used to send you upgrade. Apparently they are using peer-to-peer cross downloads for some of the distribution which may open the door for some mischief.

It may be necessary to restore your Windows system to your last Restore point that was clean and working fine. You DO have one, don't you?

You can try deleting the upgrade and re-download it. . .
