Should I or Shouldn't I
I have been hearing alot on privacy issues within windows 10 and that microsoft has the ability to remove software from your computer if it has detected an invalid license and such. i keep getting the icon telling me not to miss my chance to upgrade to windows 10 but at the moment i am quite content with windows 7 as i don't seem to have issues with it at the moment and my motto is if it ain't broke don't look for trouble installing unfamiliar software... i have gone to the point of origin Microsoft and told them my concerns but they don't seem to want to answer my concerns or questions and that given the 30 days to roll back to previous version doesn't sit well as i will lose my pre-installed licensed copy of windows 7 home which i don't want to get rid of but i have read that once win10 is installed it does something to the windows genuine key and invalidates it so you can't roll back, i had windows 8.1 on my laptop but i woke up one morning to windows 10 installing and for some reason it deleted my factory recovery partition and i couldn't roll back as i didn't have the option.
1) So after i just re-formatted my computer got it running somewhat normal Microsoft again pulls the rug out from under us with another version of a somewhat buggy version of windows. i had finally grown accustomed to windows 7 and got the chance to use windows 8.1 that took me all of 1 day to remove and put windows 7 back in and now i get windows 10 with no option to revert back to windows 7....ARRRGGGG..... i know we all have to advance in life and upgrades are a way of life but to have something thrown at us because it's free doesn't make it any better to me this is MICROSOFTS way of controlling our computers with a worldwide VIRUS and no way of exterminating it.........
Microsoft responded with "You don't have to rush to do the upgrade"
2)well i find that response to be a load of manure that microsoft is feeding everyone..... due to the fact everytime i either restart or turn on my pc it keeps telling me that my upgrade is ready and that i should upgrade........NONONONONONO....... i am really considering going back to 8.1 on the laptop so far windows 10 does NOTHING for me i use it only because the laptop upgraded when i was sleeping... so either way microsoft can force the upgrade which is why i turn my computer off now and if it says applying updates i just pull the plug i refuse to let a big corporation take control of my computer and from what i have been reading they are able to uninstall software from there end if they suspect illegal software... i think its time to have a lawyer look over their pushy update policy..........i have told it not to update but it still insists so you tell me how to avoid the update if your so smart.........and all i really do is email,facebook and craigslist ..... i can do that on a dos and win3.11 machine... oh oh oh oh i just found a sealed copy of vista ultimate maybe i would be better off with that....... i HATE change....... leave it alone
Microsoft "NO RESPONSE"
3)I still despise 8.1 i never liked it when i had the beta and i refused to adopt it, i Installed 8.1 then just as fast it came out i just couldn't get the family adjusted to it it took long enough to get them used to windows 7 now i have to teach them how to use something i don't even like and i have 8.1 on my new laptop and i find it just as useless as it was when i initially tried it out. is there a way to just not update to windows 10 so i can stay with my windows 7 for once i actually like an operating system, them Big Brother wants everyone on the same setup so they can monitor what we download and can control what we do.....
Microsoft again "NO RESPONSE"
so to me this is just a way on getting everyone to conform to their system so they can spy on everyone and control content even going so far as to put malware on all our systems that goes undetected which in turn targets our online browsing habits to target sales for companies....
I know i am new but i have been watching from the sidelines for quite sometime and when you ask the makers of an os what you can expect and all you get is dead air it kind of makes you think
