Windows 10

[L Verge]

I opened my laptop this afternoon to an announcement that Windows 10 would be automatically installed this coming Tuesday. I'm not even smart enough on computers to qualify as a Computer Dummy. It took about five clicks to different screens to finally find a line which said I had the option to cancel the installation. I then emailed my daughter, grandson, Betty O, and Roger to alert them to standby to help me on Tuesday in case Bill Gates ignored my cancellations.

Within one minute, I got a call from Betty, and she talked me through going into the control panel and doing more than just clicking what the message had told me to click. Hopefully, I have built a wall to keep out migrant computer programs... Thanks, Betty.

Updating my current systems is fine with me, but installing a totally new one without my permission seems a bit invasive to me. They appear to be forcing Windows 10 on people because they are having a hard time selling it on the open market??? Seems to me that we passed laws over a hundred years ago that were designed to break up such practices and monopolies. My grandson had already warned me about Windows 10 coming with quite a few price tags for add-ons that were not included in the upgrade from Windows 7 and 8.
