What do I do now?
If your machine is still running Windows 7 make sure to:
  • Disable Auto-updates.
  • Ensure that Windows Update KB 3035583 and 3139929 are not selected.

I read this not too long ago. MicroCrap keeps changing the files you have to delete in order to stop the auto-updates. MicroCrap believes they own your computer just because you have their software on it. One evil corporation if you ask me. It's too bad Bill had to rip off Apple and start MicroCrap. Otherwise we would all have Apple computers that actually work without all the bugs and other crap that PC's have.

I downloaded GWX Control Panel. It's disables all the Win10 stuff, but allows you to re-enable it later if you so chose. It also has a nice GUI for those of us you don't want to spend the time figuring out where all the disable points are.
 
Rather than have a whinge about something new, ask for assistance in YOUR environment about how best to handle current versions of software.

Underneath the hood, Windows 10 has a stack of improvements. Will this affect your environment much? Probably not. Will you have to deal with it? Yes.

So stop ranting - get over "that things change" and move forward.

If you want to whinge about change, talk to the Chicago pit traders and meet them at the dive bar where they drown their sorrows about change.

PS - Early pros have VMs. Ultra Pros have people that create VMs for them to test the "new world".

1. Nobody was ranting, so STFU. We are discussing how to avoid an unwanted change.
2. People complained here that their trading software wouldn't work with W10.
3. If you actually PAID for W7 how the fuck is it the company's right to change it WITHOUT your permission?

In short, GTFO of this thread.
 
Wish I had seen this thread earlier. came in this am and now my Win 7 puter is running Win 10. So far no real big issues. I disabled a ton of crap.
 
Windows 10 is the new OS for surveillance against you and hence, almost free. Move out to Linux - RoboLinux or Ubuntu with Wine - your Windows programs still will work. Why will you let your tax money work against you?

As long as you don't have issues with it, I would just leave it alone after installing Classic Shell and setting up Privacy correctly into reporting mode. It is supposed to be running faster on new machines than 7, so if your programs all run on it, you are golden.

I have a small netbook and it updated from 10 to 10, at least that is what I think because there was a 5 GB update. :)
