Unconventional query?
OK, I am new here. We recently purchased an RCA tablet that had Win10 on it.Personally I do not consider it a *good* thing. Win10, that is. Though we have a Win7 machine here, most of my network is WinXP/Linux. What I want to do is remove as much of M$ as possible from win10 as possible, and replace with FOSS/3rd party apps. That even includes disabling updates, and even the entire security center and firewall. It does nothing to block boogers, and I have software and procedures in place that do so quite effectively on the XP platform where I can click to my hearts content on live RATs without effect. Are there any guides/links/books for doing this? (BlackVipers site is a baby step).I would prefer registry hacks, as opposed to software methods. But either would do. Please note that I have been with Win since v3.0 (and Linux since v0.9), so I realize what I am asking for is not advisable to be used for newer/inexperienced users. Is asking this question an excommunicable offense? I believe safe computing is protection against corporate user tracking as much as keeping hackers from Minsk from using my system as storage for kiddie porn. As a side question, can typical tablets be downgraded to Win7 an still maintain the excellent touch drivers (probably from Intel) on the system?
