Wait on Windows 10![]() http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/successfully-cancelling-your-windows-10-upgrade-reservation We don't know how many problems will occur updating your current operating system or how many Gotchas will attack unsuspecting users. Wait until after the first daredevils have reported their results and Microsoft has made its adjustments. In six months or so, perhaps about January 1, it should probably be safe to go in the water, or install the update. I'll review the proper upgrade steps at that time. It will include checking your system, devices and software for compatibility and backing up thoroughly, hopefully with a complete system image. Most of you have seen their irritating advertisement in your system tray. ![]() Learn to live with it. If you hide it, they'll bring it back with the next update. Since we are essentially renting the operating system from them, they seem to feel they can do whatever they want. So, they have installed a program called GWX.EXE (for Get Windows X) which runs all the time on our machine to control advertising and push Windows 10 on us. This was part of the necessary security updates a couple months ago. I think this is another step in their attempt to monetize us. Expect more tracking and selling us and more uncontrollable advertising in Windows itself. Date: July 2015
