If they do this to me, then I’m gone. I love Windows 7 Pro.
they will do it to you- you might as well leave now- many have- including myself- I’m dual booting now- I use windows 10 ONLY for running windows programs and games- and don’t allow it to access the Internet- when i wish to go online, I boot back into linux- I also have windows 10 in a virtual machine on my linux install so that i can access both operating systems at once i need be- I also make sure my virtual machine install of windows can’t access Internet- MS has lost me as a customer as far as using their machine for online access - windows mint is very easy to use- and not much different that windows really- very glad i made the switch- Norton Internet security was doing the same stinkin thing- forcing people’s computers to ‘wake’ to run some lousy remediation task every 10 minutes, meaning you couldn’t put your machine in sleep - I’ve had enough of software forcing their changes on us-
