    Not ready for Win10, but Win10 nag screen won't allow Win7 updates


    I'm still playing with Win10 on a tablet and not ready to install it on my main computer. Meanwhile, there are 32 Windows 7 updates pending. I've selected all 32 in Windows Update, then clicked the OK button, but that just takes me to a screen for installing Win10. I'm not sure what happens if I click OK there, but it looks like clicking OK will install Win10 which I do NOT want to do. I just want to install the 32 Win7 updates.

    I did notice that one of the optional updates was the Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro and that the checkbox to install it was pre-checked. I did uncheck it but I still got the screen that said "Downloading Windows 10".

    Is it possible that I'm safe to proceed after seeing the "Downloading Windows 10" message as long as I made sure to uncheck the Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro checkbox?

    :)

    Cursor Not Moving Between Mac & PC After Upgrading to Win10

    I upgraded to Win10 and immediately found a very nagging problem. I couldn’t move my cursor between the Mac & my virtual PC, like I could with Win7.

    I called both Apple and Microsoft, they pointed fingers at each other for the incompatibility problem. I use Boot Camp with Parallels and Win. I reinstalled Win7 and the cursor is back to normal.

    If you know others using Boot Camp/Parallels/Win10 use caution. Won't go back to Win10 until compatibility is restored.

  3. Installing Win 10 on SSD

    I had a beta build that would not update. I also had my Win7 on a HDD, where 10 was on my SSD.

    To install the final [garbage, not ready for release] ver of Win10, I had to wipe the SSD, install Win7, then upgrade to Win10.
