You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

I was told that after you update, you get messages that your hardware isn’t good enough to run it....along with stuff that you have to turn off to keep MS from following you and monitoring your surfing and locations. I went back to Win 7, so I’m not up on the new stuff. I would go back to XP if I could get it to work on new websites. If I could only learn Linux! I’ve tried it 15 times and can’t even get an update on a browser. I’ve been computing since ‘84 and a 286 with DOS 3.1 but Linux just kills me. I may try Linux with WINE to see If I can operate at the level I want to. If someone wanted to get rich,....They would take Linux and make it operate like Windows with .exe files, .com files, ect. If a window pops up saying to upgrade my browser, you just press “yes” and everything goes automatic. Instead you download a tar ball and then you have to know where all the files go in different locations. Ridiculous!

is this just an update for those that have windows 10 now?

Or is this also update for thsoe who have windows 7 and didn’t get in on the windows 10 upgrade?

Is there an .ISO full install? Or is it just an upgrade for windows?

So are they forcing this bloated crapware on everyone?

Proud to be a user of MSFT’s last and greatest operating system, Windows 7. All else is telemetric uselessness.
