Re: The definitive Windows 10 Fall Creators Update review
I don't want any of them, I am fine with the things I have and which I am used to .Everytime I have a major update an existing feature ceases to work.
Last time is was my picture programme which I could no longer access, something called TWINUI arrived from nowhere and I couldn't access that either just a message saying 'Class Not Registered'.
I had to get my son to come and sort it out

All very predictable.The mega push to force people onto W10 was about establishing a platform that THEY controlled rather than the USER being in control.
Those that fell for it are frankly buggered now.
MS can send any update they like down the line to you now. You can delay updates but you can't refuse them if MS want you to have them. W10 is a totalitarian OS.
The associated mega-corporations will soon change imo. I fully expect Googlemail to cease working with Windows 7/8 to force people over to 10.
YouTube similarly, then Amazon and so on.

Considering that Gmail, YouTube and Amazon are online products and can be accessed with any type of browser I seriously doubt whether they can be set to ignore Win 7. I access all of these on Android and Linux as well as Windows 7.

Re: The definitive Windows 10 Fall Creators Update review
I hate Windows 10. So much so that I am seriously considering ditching my laptop in favour of a larger iPad than my iPad Mini which I use the majority of the time. Simply because of the dreaded W10.It annoys me intensly that Windows take over the machine, gobbling up a huge amount of disc space, installing so much stuff I have no wish to use and slowing everything up. I had my computer expert son here today and he spent a couple of hours trying to free up disc space by shifting stuff onto an external hard drive, but still I am so short of space.
Edited to add. My son is a professional event photographer running iMacs (3) at events to produce photographs there and then on the spot. Unfortunately the application he has to use is a Windows one. At a big event last week, on setting up their machines in readiness, Windows decided to automatically start an update which took an hour and a half. So despite photographs being taken, the customers could not get prints of them, so went away promising to come back later, which of course after dinner and drinks, they didn't bother. He estimated that he lost several hundred pounds worth of sales, simply because of bloody Windows.

I have had enough and am ditching my present laptop and Windows 10. I have just purchased a reconditioned Macbook Air. I spent most of yesterday trying to install a new printer and had so many problems, I could have thrown the laptop through the window.
