Stop windows 10 from installing?

Post by khdilger » Tue May 24, 2016 6:17 am

Unfortuantely a user upgraded a computer to Windows 10 instead of hitting decline. Luckily reverting back to windows 7 went smooth and nothing broke.

Will the computers keep asking to upgrade to windows 10? Or after you decline the upgrade will it never ask again?

If it will ask again how do I remove the feature so it does not want to upgrade again?

A few of my computers automatically did it overnight when they weren't turned off at the end of the day. So far no issues. What are the issues of going to win 10?

Some issues may include but not limited to:
  1. Tears of joy being shed over the "multiple desktops" feature: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wind ... windows-10
  2. High fives given around the table for the return of the start menu.
  3. Shaking fear from the Cortana takeover.
  4. Confusion from the mask that IE put on to disguise itself and how it now refers to itself as "Edge".
The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

One issue we've been hit with on the support side is the fact that Windows sets password protected sharing to default, even if it is turned off in Windows previously. This causes some grief when trying to access the OpenDentImages folder.

I would go to 10 while you have a chance...no downsides, all upsides I have found. Speed is greatly improved over Win7. The normal free upgrade is over...unless you enable accessibility features and then upgrade...then you can still do it for free. :)
