Fine, they can pay the huge fees to get my CAD software upgraded to run on win10. I’m quite happy with the versions that run on XP and win7

Turn off Automatic Updates, and each month, do them manually, checking for and declining anything related to Windows 10.

Same here.

I don’t use my computer for entertainment for it is for business only. I have engineering software operating on windows 7 and also have the ability to troubleshoot and fix minor problems with the system when necessary. When windows 8 came out my experience in trying to help others with minor/major problems was almost impossible.

Many like you and I who particularly in the electrical and mechanical engineering fields have extremely expensive CAD programs that in some cases cannot operate in toys such as windows 8 and 10 and must either be cast aside and a huge sum of both money and effort expended in either upgrading or replacing them.

MICROSOFT......LEAVE US THE HELL ALONE!
