If they do this to me, then I’m gone. I love Windows 7 Pro.
For those who would just as soon stay with Windows 7 -- BEWARE!
Hope that's good enough.
Must.
Learn.
Linux.
Abort, Re-Fry or Flail?
I remember Windows 1.0.
And 10 MB drives
And floppies by the pile full.
Thanks for the heads up.
It kind of sounds to me like users do not know that they can uncheck the upgrade to Windows 10 when doing other upgrades, updates, patches, etc. ;-)
Not me. Tried the free conversion and it messed up my computer big Tim, eg, erasing my CD drive from my computer. Converted back and won’t change. W-10 has all kinds of stuff I don’t need or want.
Not the first time MS has done this kind of unauthorized upgrade.
One day I noticed some programs would not work. They were based on IE9. I got to checking and found my IE9 was now IE10. I had Windows7 updates turned to ‘notify me, do not auto-update’.
I was able to uninstall IE10, and it reverted to IE9.
I turned off Windows updates completely.
Even so, I still occasionally run into weird activity on my computer and find that MS had recently installed a ‘critical upgrade’. I have to run a system restore to get my machine back to normal.
Windows 10 went from “Recommended” to “Mandated”.
Yeah, I went with a nice utility that pretty much throws the finger at Win10 upgrades, forced or not. GWX I think it’s called.
How can this be? All I ever see is a little balloon that says something about updates that I always ignore............
I get these messages daily... update to windows 10 and frankly, I am ready to go buy a MAC
How about Microsoft leave other people's property the F*** alone?
This is where I would like to find out who's responsible for this, and beat them stupid with a baseball bat.
About an hour after I remarked on this yesterday on Free Republic, my secondary Computer, running windows 7, upgraded to Windows 10. Weird..
You stupid Windows 7 users just don’t know what’s good for you.
Whine and whine... /s/
We told you this was coming.
Microsquish warned you this was coming.
Time to fuch msoft up the can and go somewhere else.
Thank you so much, dearest dayglored!
I’m pinging myself because my eldest granddaughter is coming here in a few days and she is an IT expert.
She’s my Taylor from the Cayman’s who DrO and I raised for all those years when she was a little girl of age 3 and he was still practicing medicine in San Diego. She’s all grown up now and residing in Cana-duh, finishing law school and working for Microsoft as an expert.
I’m going to have her set this cheap laptop exactly the way I want it. We do Team Viewer whenever I run into trouble.
:)
Yup, just happened to me on Saturday morning — and I am pretty sure I clicked on the opt out button when I saw the “scheduled update” pop-up. Ah, well, so far it’s been fine ... but I haven’t tried to use any of the “new features” yet
