Something I was sent in an Email, that is worth sharing with you all.
Windows 7 and Windows 8 users should keep an eye out for these updates
KB3068708,
KB3022345,
KB3075249,
KB3080149.
They will install by default and will invoke the win 10 'free upgrade' icon and the nudge to upgrade.
You can search these KBs in windows update and uninstall them. This should stop the nudge for now.
[on my main PC which runs Win 7 64bit Ultimate I have windows updates set to allow me to decide what updates are installed]. You will not be able to do that in windows 10 because the updates are enforced upon you whatever.. I don't like that non-option!!
But I just want to note a few things you might find interesting.
Whilst most 8.1 users might want to do this, Win 7 users who are quite happy with the way 7 works for them might actually start pulling the proverbial hair out. Personally I wouldn't want to go the windows 10 route....running Windows 7, just yet. The upgrade will delete certain apps you had in that OS, and bring the 'Store' tile into operation. This surreptitious move by Microsoft shows the monetisation Redmond have in mind. Certain programs you had before will be non available but they can be gained from Store.....But they come with baggage. Ads on the 'free' with the nudge to buy the app you already had!! Bloody outrageous.
In Windows 10, after the upgrade, you might find problems with some Software and Hardware especially with wireless connection, Bluetooth and some USB devices especially desktop external drives which might want to be 'reformatted' on connection. Some flash drives may get the same alert window.
Moreover, your wireless printer becomes unwireless and will not connect. Reinstalling the software fails with the proverbial blue circle. It just won't install again and you might find that the manufacturer is just not going to support 10, yet.
One resolve I did with the wireless was to disable the VM and Cisco network drivers and VPN, which don't seem to come over with 10. MS are aware and 'may' resolve this by an update soon.
My wireless connection is more stable now but not brilliant.
I have been running Win 10 now on this lappy [hp upgraded, WD dual SSD/HDD] and 16gb ram] for 2 weeks and I have had many problems for everyday use. The boot time is appallingly slow, the wireless does just drop out which requires a reboot and it might come back.
My machine temp and the CPU is much higher than 8.1 ever was!!
But I'm going to persevere with it.
Perhaps I should post this on the forum....still have to do a bit of research, but can be edited anytime as you know.
Input is power, said the plug to the socket.
