What's stopping you from having Windows 7 back?
That I'd have to pay for Windows 7 again and likely have it overwritten by MS again.

it seems that i am CONSTANTLY being FORCED by microsoft to "update" my computer at their leisure. i never asked for their "updates", i tried turning off all things associated with their "updates", BUT THEY STILL KEEP COMING! I DONT WANT THEM, I DONT NEED THEM!
they say its for MY security? yeah, thats what ALL dictators say before they commit a mass genocide! i dont need microsoft snooping around in my comupter, because thats all their updates seem to be doing, is allowing them to forcibly access my computer.
if anyone knows of a program to block out microsoft from accessing my computer and forcing "updates" on me, then please share them!
microsoft saying they wont FORCE a new OS on people apparently doesnt include said operating system to be forcibly changed by them at any time, even if it means screwing up whatever you are doing at the time!
there needs to be some kind of action taken against microsoft about this, because it feels like i dont own my computer, but that microsoft does! i cant turn off "windows update medic service". the FACT that microsoft has a so called "service" like this, is enough of an example of how many people dont want their system "updated"!
it wouldnt surprise me if this was taken down because they dont want people to understand that this is worse than apple bricking devices because of a replacement part. if i dont have control over my device being "updated" then it is not my device, but the one who is updating it. that is not what i agreed to when i purchased this computer (not leased, but purchased!), so it is in violation of a purchase agreement and microsoft should be facing a class action lawsuit over this! but because they said they wouldnt do one forcible "update" they are getting away with this!
can anything be done about this?

Personally, I'd love to have Windows 7 back on my computer since I never granted my permission for the upgrade to Windows 10. It was great, woke up one morning, had Windows 10 and NONE of my software worked any more. I'll repeat that, NONE!!! Still doesn't, if it came on a CD or DVD it's worthless now...

2018-11-22T16:34:51+00:00 How do you square the 'Windows 10 is wonderful' attitude with the way the forced updates actually stop the computer working for long periods of time? Where it's being used to run live situations (recordings, live shows etc.) this tendency is potentially disasterous.. in some industries actually dangerous.
Come on you hackers... produce a bit of code that will stop Windows ever ever ever updating. Thousands of us out here don't want it to do it.
(Yes we know the goodies will tell us it's important etc. etc. Please refrain)
Alternatively can someone tell me how to get hold of a copy of XP to load on my machine? That worked and was reliable.
