Windows 10 updates

JD Miller · 07-08-2017, 01:19 PM

My laptop is prompting me to let it do a windows 10 updates.
I turned off all their share my info crap on the pre update

Im not sure if I should let it update...

Is it Just more usless crap and complications or would the update be necessary for smooth operation for internet and for videos running and stuff etc ?

Is your laptop already 10? If so let it update. If you have Windows 7, don't update.

Thanks

I have 7 and refuse all the 10 updates.

I know not to do automatic updates, but pick and choose which ones are beneficial and which ones aren't. Do this by educating yourself on the Winders forums, as there is a ton of information on them.

I have a Win7 partition, why I do not know because I only use it about once a month, and I managed to stop it wanting to update to Win10.

I use 4 different Linux platforms on this one computer.

I recently got Windows 10 and it stinks, I have more trouble with it than I did with my last two or three operating systems.

Fifty shades of grey:

So he put Windows 10 on her computer and signed her up for Obummer care.

I bought new computers last year, three as a matter of facts, two desktops and a laptop, Dell and they came with W-10. I am yet to have a problem, it works well for me so don't be so afraid of it, don' read "Fake News" please.

I'm not afraid of Win10. The problem I have is some articles that I read a couple of years ago implied that Win10 was eventually going to lead to a subscription operating system service..

I don't think that will work. Some extras may be offered as a subscription service, but when you buy a computer you expect it to work, not have to "subscribe to a service" to make it work. I don't think it's a valid story.

I liked 7 better than 10. I didn't want to pay $700 for a PC that is lacking in software.

Well let's hope that microsoft doesn't go that route.

There is nothing lacking in Windows 10.
