Replacing Windows 10 with Windows 7 on a new Laptop.

Try coming at us decently and maybe one of our busy volunteers will help you. Those who achieve the best possible Windows 10 installs, which is now running on 200 million satisfied consumers PC's.

 

Windows 10 Complaint/Suggestion Forum?

Microsoft's test group is the Windows Insiders,
of which there are more than 10 million.

Microsoft seems to be doing pretty decently at holding on to customers:
According to StatCounter, Windows 10 recently passed Windows 7 as the most used version of Windows, and

Ars Technica is reporting that the Fall Creators Update is installed on 85% of Windows 10 PCs.

Nobody says Windows 10 is perfect, but it's gained wide acceptance.

 

Wow have read the whole thread and that is very good.
40 million a month hope they keep it up.

 

Well .. I DON'T! Because ... they're getting there by tricking Win7 and Win8 folks into applying an Upgrade they do not want.

The Win7 forums and OEM forums are chock full of folks complaining about HOW to get rid of Win10 and go back to their older OS -- because they did what they thought was a routine update only to have their machine upgraded to Win10.

This is reprehensible conduct by MS -- and I don't care if millions of folks like Win10, this is STILL reprehensible conduct.

 

I'm not sure how MS is at fault, when if the user read what the update was for, it clearly states "Upgrade to Windows 10". *Confused

Brink you are correct they don't have to but some ignore that and then blame Microsoft, on every system I have put it on.
That message has always come up

 

200 million is an impressive number, but still doesn't come close to Windows 7.

 

Bout a million of those were done by me!!!
(Feels like it, anyway!) *Wink

 

Hahahahahaha! At least, Edwin! At least.

Seems like I've done at least 100,000 myself. *Smile

 

Some say that Microsoft tricked a lot of users into 10. But it is not their fault if many people do not pay attention.

 

Hmmm Brink, you know there are TONS of people that don't really watch what they're clicking. Microsoft is definitely taking advantage of that. Truth is, objectively, Windows 10 is a luke-warm success. Mobile Devices are where it's at, and Microsoft just isn't there like it should have been. I prefer Windows based PCs myself, but I say that understanding I'm in the ever increasing minority. A lot of the new user base is there because of a free upgrade, some curiosity, and for no other reason. XP was a real success. Windows 95 was a blockbuster success, and I'd say Windows 7 is top of mind for most (er, that's when Windows is still top of mind).

 

Intresting, Windows 10 is better, but not as good as 7 as of now.But seems like Windows 10 is on a good road ahead.

 

There are any number of "free" and "shareware" programs out there that it takes a single click to download and install onto your computer. Within these "no cost upfront" programs are many sub programs that will be installed if you don't uncheck the box.

I don't see an uproar happening about these nefarious activities, but let someone who doesn't pay attention, who clicks through everything in order to get something free from Microsoft wind up with Windows 10 and immediately "*Microsoft has intentionally installed Windows 10 without permission!*"

What's more, even some of the denizens here, who should know better, will believe the worst about Microsoft.

Sheesh! Pay attention, folks!

 

I disagree. Windows 10 is much, much better than Windows 7; however, as with Windows 7, there are a few things I could live without. *Smile
