Starkrun: I dont intend to flame but unless you have a haxxord version... why hate on 10?

its better memory, process, and drive sector management... it can me made to look like 7 in all ways with a simple small program and well, everything that 7 does 10 can do. I dont understand the hate... it looks/runs just like every taskbar and startmenu GUI run linux... so that point is moot.

that said ubuntu has more call home in the backend then any telemetry 10 has, plus they sell all that stuff while Microsoft does not.
I am not upgrading to WIndows 10 mostly because of compatibility issues of games I own.

(I mean Diablo 1 CD may not even work at all on Windows 10)

If I ever use Windows 10 it might aswell be from a Laptop or something.

phaolo: Disable Windows Update and download the patches you need manually.
This. I haven't used 'WIndows Update' in years.

I've been finding that most retro games work on Linux, even odd stuff like Lands of Lore III. Dungeon Keeper 2, Arcanum, Temple of Elemental evil, Warhammer Shadow of The Horned rat, all works a whole lot better under Wine on Linux than it does on Windows these days - they don't in many cases. Diablo works brilliantly as well.
Just can't play the latest AAA Direct3D 11 games on there, but not a big loss anyway in my book. I've got Underrail working as well took a bit of experimenting but eventually found that playonlinux has nice scripts for setting up .net games. And no surveillance or forced updates! Windows 10 can't do that.

Hey very nice to hear. Could you please write some the steps how you did that somewhere in the Underrail board?

NoAGood: The Windows 10 Trojan is back .. *SIGH*

Yup .. I thought I had it all cleared out / off of my Windows 7 64bit machine, but it is back. When I startup I get window suggesting I upgrade to Windows 10. GWX.exe has returned. I had removed this update and all the files once, now I have to go and do it again. Is there anyway to stop MS-updates from installing this, like blacklisting the win 10 updates, or anything like that? I'm really getting really tired of being nagged by Microsoft and it's Windows 10 garbage. I have no intentions of moving to any MS OS above Windows 7. I use Windows XP, Windows 7 64 and Various flavors of Linux.
Have you tried an unregistered copy of win7?

You can .. Press the Windows + R keys, type gpedit.msc -- Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update -- Double-click Turn off the upgrade to the latest version of Windows through Windows Update. Click Enable.

That should do it. If it doesn't, you can visit this site and he has scripts that will do everything required. I did this for a friend of mine a couple weeks ago and he hasn't had any troubles since. Once completed there will be a file on the desktop. It is a one click upgrade (file) to Win10.
