Microsoft messing me around with Windows 10-not sure what is going on
Hi,
I have a laptop with Windows 7. A few weeks ago I suddenly found that Windows had appeared, I had not requested it-I assume that I must have ignored a message from MS saying that they were about to upgrade.
I didn't really like it it messed up some activities but it appeared to be a bit quicker. Yesterday my pointer(mouse) stopped working so I managed to reboot it. The pointer re-appeared but I suddenly found that my desktop picture had disappeared, I then found all "links" from programs to data had all disappeared in fact my "documents" folder was empty. It seemed that W10 had completed the activation and left me in the lurch. Amongst problems were, no bookmarks or history for Mozzilla firefox, access to other computers in the network suddenly required an unknown user name & password, my editing video program lost its links. I managed to find the bookmarks and the files for my video editing program. I left everything else.
This morning when I switched on my laptop everything was back to normal - the desktop picture was back and everything seems okay. What an is going on?
