I`m still interested in LINUX programs but I tried downloading Ubuntu last year and it crashed my computer to the point I had to take it to the Geek Squad to reload my Windows. Is there anything else that`s easy to use but open source enough to not be henchman to the proglydite statists?
“Microsoft will start pushing out a Windows 10 upgrade as a recommended, virtually mandatory, update very soon”
Translation:
Microsoft isn’t going to “force” you to do anything, but this article is a complete waste of time unless we can lie and tell you (with weasel words just in case we get called on the lie) that they are going to make you. Just watch how many people leave logic at the door and completely believe this!
“virtually mandatory”? Swear these tech blogs just hire the first retard off the street that can plug in a USB mouse to write this stuff.
I’m running Mint on my web-connected PC now, so no worries about the MSJBTs.
The bastards will not force me into installing an operating system with no guarantee that my applications and programs will work.
I own my computer and have useful work to do with it.
When I’m ready I’ll buy a new computer with 10 already installed.
It’s not an upgrade. It’s changing the most fundamental set of programs that run the computer.
Windows 10, nicknamed “Windows Cosby” will force itself on your computer. Be vigilant.
I need to turn it off due to an incompatibility with my video card... MS needs to address this and make the process “simple enough for a caveman”.
XP TID!!!
It tries. So far, I’v ebeen able to keep it off.

If anyone with Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 decides the Metro interface is for the birds on anything but a tablet, download and install the free “Classic Shell” and banish Metro from our life forever. The underlying OS is good and stable, it’s the user interface (GUI) that annoys hell out of many of us, and Classic Shell makes Windows 8 and newer look and feel like XP or Win 7.

My machine already has those keys that way. The wife’s doesn’t even have the Windows Update section.

You can refer to the below mentioned steps to hide an update.
Press Window key + X.
Select Control Panel from the list.
Under view by option select large icons.
And then click either Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
Now click on important updates available (recommended).
Click to clear the check box that is next to the KB3035583 update.
Expand the KB3035583 update that you want to hide, and then click the "Don't show this update again" check box or in my case with Windows 8.1, "hide" .
Click Review and install updates.
Just use this tool:
GWX Control Panel
This is a free tool that can remove and disable the ‘Get Windows 10’ notification area icon on Windows 7 and Windows 8. Recent versions can also disable ‘Upgrade to Windows 10’ behavior in the Windows Update control panel and do much more. See the user guide at the Ultimate Outsider blog. You can still download GWX Control Panel as a standalone executable if you don’t like installers. Please see the “GWX CONTROL PANEL RELEASE NOTES” section at the user guide for MD5 and SHA-1 checksums of all official releases.

I’ve done it on 3 of my PCs with no problem.
Save for future use.
Thanks!
