This is funny... and I wonder if it’s real, or a sneak link to somewhere else. Someone ought to check the links.
PS—W10 works great if your computer is only a year or two old.
Win10 has been more stable for me than Win7.
I’m no MS plant. Just stating a fact.
Uninstall and then hide the update for KB3035583
I had to do that to stop the Windows 10 nagging on my Win 7 machine.
Here's Microsoft's blog post.
Me no plant, neither.
It makes it easier to find many settings of interest to the non-administrator type of user. And, it’s rock stable. I’ve had memory leaks on a few programs, but that’s not an OS problem. I don’t think I’ve had a blue screen in the several months that I’ve used it.
The next Microsoft update will replace every “7” or “8” on your PC with a “10”. So 7+8 will equal 20 instead of 15. ;-)
If operating systems were like ice cream, Windows would be vanilla, Linux would be 31 Flavors.
DO NOT UPGRADE UNLESS YOU ARE 100% SURE YOUR SOFTWARE WILL WORK!!!
My computer and OS are the least of my expenses. I am a design engineer and a recovering aerospace engineer. I had one of my laptops upgrade to windows 10 about 3 months ago. Everything worked just perfect. All my CAD CAM CAE FEA software was just fine. Until last week when WIN 10 shoved a non optional update and now none of them work.
The cost to get new software (and as of yet NONE of mine are supported) is in the $8500 range PER computer.
Luckily it was a win 8.1 (I despise by the way) and I can restore the computer to factory mode. Everything worked great until the 30 day option to uninstall Windows 10 expired (of course).
Not Happy.
I had this pop up on my Win7 machine about a month ago. I just X’ed out, and it has not returned.
The constant upgrade reminders in the system tray were bad enough (until I removed them); but this is way too intrusive, and misleading for the less savvy.
My daughter’s computer was upgraded. I then had to set a whole bunch of settings to keep it from sharing every moment with Microsoft - and I don’t trust it not to do so anyways. I’m going to switch an old laptop to Linux to see if I like it.
All updates are shut off on my Windows 8.1 laptop.
microsoft has been flicking these boogers on my screen for a few months
Well, I'm glad I saw this warning, I just changed my update settings to manual.
I don't want Win10 yet, waiting for some more positive feedback from you tech nerds.
LOL, me too, interesting way of putting it.
Did the exact same thing and worked well. I read later that Windows may override this and force the popup to show up again. Hasn’t happened yet, but keeping an eye out for it.
I have a several very expensive graphic, audio and video editing programs on my Win 7 and no way am I going to take a chance on these programs maybe working on Win 10.
microsoft’s nagware doesn’t know ‘no’ means ‘no’
they’re trying to ‘rape’ my system every week
I upgraded an old netbook - Win7 “Starter” with only 1MB RAM.
Not only is the netbook more stable but noticeably faster, too.
My current Win8.1 Ultrabook is next on upgrade schedule.
I run 2 pcs on Win 8.1 and have never seen the upgrade nag screen on either one.
Win10 64bit in a VirtualBox runs way slower than Win7 32 bit in a VirtualBox on the same 6yr old box hosted by Linux Mint 17.2 64 bit (which works GREAT!).
