How to kill 10 Windows upgrade? Please read the details before you answer!

Normally I just will try to contact Microsoft directly about this. I don't care if it takes 2 weeks to reply to an email that I GET a response. But EACH link that says "Contact us" brings me right back to the main page of Community Office helps, it seems there is no chance whatsoever to get feedback from a real person from Microsoft...

So here's my situation: I have two laptops. My only primary is more recent and therefore runs Windows 10. My portable secondary works in Windows 7. I want to KEEP my school laptop running Windows 7 for two reasons:

  1. My portable secondary is several years old. I do not if it is "technically compatible with Windows 10" because age alone means there will be some conflicts of hardware/software, if I were to upgrade the operating system. It's not worth updating this machine.
  2. Program compatibility. I have several programs use this work beautifully on Windows 7 but you are clumsy (if they even run at ALL) on Windows 10. Until such programs get the upgrades themselves, the ONLY way I can use them is on my Windows 7 laptop. So if I update the laptop more old I lose these programs.

For this reason, I want to get rid of the annoying pop up telling me that I "need to upgrade to Windows 10 now" every time I turn on my secondary laptop. I have it? I want this program went pop up! Finished! Exterminated! Eliminated! Try to remove the program files has failed, because apparently I need fancy Microsoft permission to remove them. (A fool can accidentally delete vital BONES files when you are prompted to do so by a troll, but I can not intentionally remove a useless update command prompt!) So there does anyone know how to get rid of this nuisance?

PS - If someone from Microsoft DOES happen to read this I have a suggestion for you: some people do not WANT your glorious new version of Windows has pushed down their throat then maybe consider to include an option to unsubscribe!

It is a sure and very effective tool to stop Windows 10 upgrade notice.

    Original title: the file format of external hard drive is the RAW and not NTFS. How can I get Windows 7 to read RAW hard drives without having to format the hard drive due to important work on this subject?

    I put the hard drive on an XP and Vista machine and can read the hard drive, but not with Windows 7

    Hi Zling,

    It works on other OS? When did you finally read the disc and with what OS? If you can read the drive and make a backup of the data on this subject, I you suggest to backup the data on the drive and then put it in using the NTFS file system.

    I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

  • How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?

    How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?

    Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject.

    There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.

    If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.

  • How can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?

    How can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?

    I can type about three characters maximum and then results focus, and I have to click with the mouse to the area of searching at the end.

    For example - I want to get "Img1.bak".

    I type 'I' "m" and then I'm whisked away and the 'g', I typed just takes me to the "great songs by Imogen Heap.txt" or what is the first result starting with g.

    I have to reselect the text box and add a letter or two at a time to get what I need. Very frustrating.

  • This copy of windows must be activated with microsoft before you can continue

    Hi guys

    After P2V Windows 2003 Storage Server 2003 x 64

    I get this message "this copy of windows must be activated with microsoft before you can continue."

    and I am not able to connect to the server and I can not activate because the NETWORK card won't work - since without vmware tools.

    no idea why this is happening?

    VMware converter 5

    Thank you very much

    This can happen due to the material Exchange when you P2V. Is there not an option to activate by phone? If this is not the case, take a look at the virtual machine settings to see if the NETWORK card is 'E1000' which should be recognized by Windows 2003 out of the box.
