I am totally confused as to why u-soft is so completely set on enraging their customer base. Can no one there take a hint about these forced-upgrades?

Run Never 10 and join that class action lawsuit against Microsoft when it’s filed.

Mission critical applications should never run on Microsoft operating systems.

Win-10 reports keystrokes back to Redmond.

That data can then be sold to advertisers and hostile governments.

It’s a “free” download because microsoft will be making billions selling your data...

...and if you live under a totalitarian government, keystrokes on your computer could be your death sentence.

So why didn’t these people just turn the automatic updates off? Why on earth did they just hook up laptops to this already dodgy system of data transfer, and then just leave it?

Jesus, it’s like MS is the only company on Earth where people blame their carelessness on them. It’s like it’s the Trump of OSs.

You have a bevy of donated laptops, and a “radio signal” for a data connection. It is YOUR responsibility to be the competent IT and make sure that you manage that connection.

You need to set your computer to NOT automaticallydownload “Recommended Updates” from MS, because step 1 in the process of the godawful WIndows 10 is the download of the software prior to installation, which will happen automatically unless you have blocked recommended updates from auto-download - then you have to identify the update in question (Just Google it) and make sure to NEVER download it.

My business software rund fine with WIn 7, and was a nightmare with Win 8 and 8.1

So I have no desire to be the guinea pig for Win 10, and besides, if it ain’t broke, I don’t want it fixed.

MS Win 10 pimps can GTH

Win10 is one big fat NSA letter to the American public.

Damn Windows 10 downloaded itself when i got called away from my computer. I tried to go back to windows 7 and now i have the black screen of death. I’ve watched several videos on how to fix it but nothing has worked.

Windows 10 is the computer world equivalent of date rape. You go to sleep, and wake up to find out something happened without your permission.

The guy who set these PCs up didn't know how to prevent it, or set a metered connection

That's their fault, not MS.
