Windows 10 likes to wipe out some of my drivers with updates.

I'm not a big Microsoft fan, but other than that it seems to work pretty well. Lots better than other versions of Windows I've used.

I wonder why that happens to your system. I auto download updates and have zero problems. Weird.

You must be a liberal. How dumb a reply, was it the law that we had to have windows 10, don't be so ridiculous.

Windows 10 hasn't been bad at all. Not for me. I've used it on about 5 machines and have had zero issues. I do miss Windows Media Center, but other than that, Windows 10 is great.

Install classic shell. Turn off the tracking. Stop worrying about the little things and enjoy life.

Ridiculous is saying Windows 10 has been forced on you. What OS are you running? And only a twit would bring liberalism into this conversation. As you so cleverly stated:

I am running 7 and MS tried to force 10 on me and everyone who was running 7.

Once again you show you have the liberal bs attitude going by insulting anyone you do not agree with, totally childish, the last time I looked this was America where we all had choices, that is unless we were running 7 where MS tried to shove 10 down our throats. Grow up.

Microsoft did not force you off Windows 7. In fact my cheap employer is still using it. Mostly because he does not want to upgrade a lot of cheap processors.

Microsoft has every right to stop supporting a release particularly when they provide a free upgrade.

That is how the world is...better get use to it.

I by the way have a couple of 286s that still work fine. May donate them to a computer museum or such. They are actually prototypes of a machine developed by Xerox and Tandem which were sold in quantity only in Europe.

Apparently you do not know what you are talking about.
Microsoft Admits Forcing More Users Onto Windows 10

Microsoft pays woman $10,000 over forced Windows 10 upgrade


Microsoft uses the force: You WILL upgrade to Windows 10

They even forced those on 10 to have their updates but that is another topic.
