Not interested in installing Windows 10 on your computer after reading news reports indicating Microsoft will track your online behavior and save your search queries, private emails and contents of private folders, including photos?
Too bad. You may not be given much of a choice.
Microsofts Windows 10 is preparing to automatically download onto computers currently installed with Windows 7 or 8 without the computer users knowledge, Londons Guardian reported.
According to the report, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 will become a recommended update in 2016, and anyone who has automatic updates activated will have the new program installed automatically on their PC.
After it has downloaded, the Windows 10 installer will begin. At that point, users will need to actively cancel Windows 10.
That is, if they arent in the habit of just hitting OK when presented with a prompt, as many users often do.
In the meantime, until 2016, the Windows 10 upgrade will be considered optional and could still be downloaded if a user has the computer set to install automatic updates, which can be disabled.
If you choose to upgrade (our recommendation!), then you will have 31 days to roll back to your previous version if you dont love it, said Terry Myerson, executive vice president of Microsofts Windows and Devices group.
Had updates already disabled on my tablet running windoze 8.1, it only has a 32gb HDD and the previous updates just totally ate all the free space left on that tiny hdd... Can't imagine what windoze 10 would do!
Found it suspicious that they were offering a free upgrade, microsoft are not in the business of just giving away free and newly released OS. Sticking to Windoze 7 for my pc.
I went to do the Disk Cleanup option recommended there and elsewhere, but under downloaded program files it said 0 bytes, and this thing wasn't on the list? And it didn't give me a view files option on other categories. Total amount of space you can gain = 733 MG most of it apparently under System Error Memory Dump Files.
As usual I want to take recommended advice but get lost in how to. I tried deleting the abomination via Ransack which usually works but it says I need Administrator permission. Another picnic I'm sure...... THIS STINKING BUSINESS IS JUST LIKE WHEN THEY FORCED US TO COMBINE GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE!!!
Sorry, trying to Auto Link all this even with HREF was a disaster.
