  1. Win7 ---> Win10 Updates & Privacy


    I'm reluctantly starting the process of upgrading from Win7 to Win10, and I have a few concerns.

    How does Windows 10 Home edition currently handle installing updates? What are the recommended tools/techniques for enhancing privacy? Most of the information I've found online is outdated or contradictory.

    1. Will Windows 10 ever reboot itself without confirmation?
    2. Can updates be paused indefinitely?
    3. If not, how long can they be delayed?
    4. Does the Pro edition make any difference (for updates and/or privacy)?
    5. What tweaks or third-party tools are currently recommended (for updates and/or privacy)?

    Thanks!

    Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

    When in win10:
    • Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....
    Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
    - Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

    Other than privacy issues, overall win10 is better that 8.1 metro crap

    Upgrade to Win10 from Win7 desktop, windows update

    I did the upgrade from Win7 to Win10 last week. It seemed to go fine but I have no desktop icons, no apps listed on the Start Menu, All Apps option, and Windows Update has been stuck at 2% downloading an update. I've run sfc /scannow and DISM through
    advanced command prompt with no change in behavior. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
