Automatic update of Windows 10 ?

I've not had it automatically installed - my new PC came with it so I had no choice!
Not had any problems so far and if I'm honest, I quite like using it but I don't use Quickbooks so can't comment.

I did upgrade my laptop from Windows 7 to 10 and that seems to be fine as well.

 

hmm I was looking at quickbooks for my accounts have win 10 on laptop but 7 on pc but want it on the lappy so will be interested to find that one out. the alternative is the online version

 

just been on to them, the desktop version is not compatible for win 10 and no updates on when it will be either. online version works ok so maybe will have to try that

 

Yes I had the same issue Dougie, was offering for months but kept ignoring, then left the laptop on for a while and left briefly to do something came back and busy loading itself, so I killed the power when I turned it back on it said reload of windows 10 would begin in 30 secs, so I went in to computer and disabled windows updates (dont really know how I actually done it I was in a panic ) again killed the power and left it alone for ages actually worried to turn it back on, when I did the next day it was ok windows 8 again !! but now keeps telling me to turn on important software updates waiting please turn on windows updates !!! i'm again ignoring it

So go in and disable windows updates, worked for me so far.

 

Even if Windows 10 automatically installs itself when you're not looking you should always be able to revert to the previous version of Windows.
To access this, open the Start menu and select Settings. Click the “Update & security” icon and select “Recovery.” You should see a “Go back to Windows 7” or “Go back to Windows 8.1” option. Click the Get started button to get rid of your Windows 10 install and restore your previous Windows install.

 

I got 10 installed when it was issued after about 4 months. No problems so far - works with work and eBay and all other apps. Give it a try - many useful features.

 

Wife just managed to stop her computer updating by disabling the automatic updates on Windows. If it had of updated several bits of older software including my Sage accounts for work would not have worked; forcing me onto buying an updated version.

 

i put windows 10 on mine and my lady's laptops. it worked ok but when I came to use the bluetooth function it wouldnt work. Our 3 yr old Toshiba laptops do not have a bluetooth update for windows 10 so I took it off both of them again. My partner didnt like it anyway, couldnt find anything.

 

Not sure about Windows 10, but when Windows has has major updates in the past it has been possible to run some non functioning programs in compatability mode.

 

If you don't want Windows 10 forced on you, google 'never10' and go with the flow.....
Its free, I've used it on both my desktop and laptop and can confirm that I've had no problems whatsoever since running it (several months ago). No annoying attempts by Bill Gates's mob to force me to change my OS. Oh, and it is reversible if you do want to succumb to their backdoor spying OS in the future!

 

Glad you got it sorted Dougie, let me know what you think of it on your home puter

 

Thanks Tomo just took advantage of your link to "never10" looks ok
downloaded, thousands of bytes of windows 10 in 100's of files removed from my puter

 

Hi Tomo, thanks for the suggestion about "never10" - I've just done both of our 'pooters and worked like a dream.

 

I hate Windows with a passion. I've used every version up to 9 (And MSDOS and CPM). I got so sick of the constant updates every time I switched it on, bugs and the crappy user interface that about a year ago I finally flipped and took my PC into the garage and dismantled it with a lump hammer. - TRUE

I am now the happy owner of an Apple iMac. Wished I had swapped years ago.
