    This will obviously upset the W7/8.1 aficionados along with the anti W10 brigade.
    This brings to mind the oft quoted "Intelligence is measured by ones ability to adapt to change"

    Windows 10 has hijacked the logon on my laptop. How do I get it back to the way it was?

    Thanks for this info.

    Let me register my COMPLETE annoyance with this behavior. There's a lot I've liked about the "new" Microsoft, but this is NOT one of them.

    This fits right in the same category as the super-aggressive campaign to have everyone upgrade to Windows 10--whether they want to or not. MS is becoming Apple and I don't like it one bit.

    Windows 10 upgrade destroys configuration on my system

    UPDATE from me....

    Got an email that said this ticket was 'answered' as if it's resolved...can you believe it? That's how Microsoft is performing the Windows 10 update....by force...no consumer rights here, just an aggressive upgrade campaign that they are sticking in everyone's
    face. They are such a monopoly...that's how monopolies act.

    NO ANSWER YET, just want to clarify that!

    - more concerned and more frustrated.

  6. I still don't really agree with this

    The files/upgrading should only be downloaded if people say they want to upgrade, not pushed out as an auto download

    I think that people should get the option one time and then they should be able to totally opt out.

    /Waiting for the MS hate to begin..

    I agree there should be a permanent opt-out option, but I don't think it's MS haters after all they already use Windows 7/8.1 and love the product, I think people are tired of constantly having to reject something that someone else wants them to do.' after having paid for a particular product and wanting to keep the product they love.

    Ability to adapt does not make the change good in of itself, nor does it mean you should accept it.

    It was a bit of sarcasm.. didn't work out like I hoped it would.

    And I would really think that an opt out would be the best way to have gone. I fully understand why MS wants to move users over to 10 but why be so pushy. If the product is that good it should sell itself.

    Yeah, I like Win 10 but don't wish to upgrade any of my present machines to run it. I plan to run Win 10 on any future machines I buy/build but I don't understand why MS is so adamant that I upgrade my current machines. BACK OFF MS!

  12. I don't understand why there isn't a class action lawsuit against MS over this

  14. This is frustrating. Like one of the previous posters I run Windows 10 on a new machine and any future machines I will of course run Windows 10. But my older machine I wish to keep Windows 7 on it. I like it and see no reason to change a perfectly functioning machine. There are various compatibility reasons I wish to keep a Windows 7 machine within the household too.

    Disk space is marginal on it so how much am I going to lose to this compulsory download that I don't even want?

    Cheers,
    Wayne
