Remove the unwanted Win 10 installation

My wife (not very experienced PC user) was on his laptop in an Open Office spreadsheet at the start of his PC installation Windows 10. She claims that she never accepted any request to install Win 10. It is currently in the middle of the installation.  How can I remove Win 10 and return to Win 7?

I have absolutely no experience with any OS since Win 7 other than a painful experience with Win 8 PC aunt where I couldn't find out how to get to the control panel. I don't really like for automatic installation to win 10 without permission (she could hit a button by mistake, but she says usually not all requests).  Asked installation "do you keep Win 7?" and when she said no, he started the installation?

Once your completed installation of Windows 10 PC, you can connect as usual, press Windows + l (settings) and then click on 'Making day and security'. Click on recover - you should have an option to roll back to Windows 7.

Once you are in Windows 7, you can disable the Windows for 10 by using a group policy with the (professional and above) local Group Policy Editor, or the registry key corresponding update. You can even use Group Policy to restrict the process of "GWX.exe" running Windows 10 which will prevent launch an upgrade at all. In addition, make sure that there is no file called GWX.exe in C:\Windows\System32 or files like that. You can also go to Windows Update and set updates install automatically Notify me when updates are available.

Of course, if you have the product key, you can also do a clean install by inserting the disc or do a PXE boot (if there is one), but I recommend you another option,

By taking these steps, your PC must not updated for Windows 10 without your consent,

Hope this works for you,

  • Remove the unwanted creative cloud installed when updating CS6 (Mac)

    I use several CS6 applications on my Mac (currently OS X 10.10.5, updated at El Capitan imminent), and today, I downloaded some updates when prompted by Adobe. (I do not use of clouds creative of products or services, I want to.)

    After installation, I discovered that a folder called "Creative cloud" had been created and added to your 'Favorites' in my sidebar of the Finder. When I deleted the folder, a dialog box appears asking me to recreate it, but not identify what type of program had generated dialog! (I chose not to recreate). Adobe has also added a new point on my menu bar.

    Why this software has been installed on my computer? What other changes he has? How can I undo these changes and remove the unwanted software?

    I noticed that there is now a directory "/ Applications/Adobe Creative Cloud" on my computer which, thankfully, includes an uninstaller (although the uninstallation program is actually located a "/ Applications/Utilities/Adobe Creative Uninstaller.app of cloud cloud/Utils/creation"). However, in view of the events leading up to, I don't think convinced uninstaller eliminates effectively all unwanted software, that adobe can be silently installed on my computer.

    More precisely, how to make sure this does not happen every time I then install an update of my software CS6?

    I am particularly upset by that because I tried to read carefully what I was installing (even click on 'read more' or whatever the link says), and I met with absolutely no warning that Adobe was going to make these changes to my computer, or some way to give them. For me, which seems awfully close to the definition of malware. I was hoping that adobe would become more responsible on those issues, account held the incident in 2010 when they silently installed Growl to display promotional messages.

    I hope someone can explain to me what was installed or modified, how can I delete/cancel the it, and how can I keep this from happening.

  • How to: recover disk space by removing the updates of windows installation files

    Original title : Software updates to XP Pro do take the disk space that can be reclaimed by removing downloaded files?

    I want to recover disk space which can have useless files.  Once an update is installed, the downloaded file can be deleted and if so, where they are on my drive?

    Please note this is only for Windows XP and is not on Vista or Windows 7

    Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

    These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
    NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

    Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

  • How to remove the unwanted parts of drawing black and white line

    I scanned in a flower art simple black and white lines.  I would like to remove some of the petals in Photoshop.  How can I do?

    Thank youFlower003.jpg

    I would like to remove the petals from the background.

    1 method: with the select magic wand the white bg, select-> invert the selection and create a layer mask.

    The layer mask is a monochrome picture, transparent black, white is opaque and anything in between is more or less transparent.

    You can now select the layer mask, use the brush and black paint, where you want to have something white, removed where you want to have something added. It is non-destructive and works very well on your photo.

    You can use shift click to 'draw' the small lines to attach to the top. According to the clarification, it will take more or less time. As I said are non-destructive.

    Second method: you use the pen to draw the lines around your flower vectors. With little exercise, you'll very quickly and you can always adjust the curvature of your curve, by pulling on the handles of the curve. Here you can see how it works: drawing with the pen in Photoshop tools .

    When done with the pen tool, you can add the vector line as a vector mask. You can even refine your mask after finishing. I suggest, since a mask of course work at a refined mask.

    The flower should not be on a layer, a background layer. Basemap layers have no transparency. The two methods are non-destructive, so you can return to the original image or parts of it, whenever you want.

  • Remove the unwanted face ID.

    I managed to keep the majority of the FACE ID while transferring more macOS Sierra.  I noticed in the area add people section there are almost 2 K for IDS would face very few are the same as the previous FACES.  Y at - it an easy way to drop the ID's that I don't want in my PEOPLE album without deleting the photos concerned?

    Also, after only two days program indicates that some 20K worth of pictures have been processed and a few 6K worth of photos are always analyzing.  This figure has not changed since the first round.

    If I manually delete all this that unwanted FACE ID - 26 K for a value of pictures, are they all be redone once the program reactivating scanned?

    Would appreciate some advice here.

    Thank you

    Y at - it an easy way to drop the ID's that I don't want in my PEOPLE album without deleting the photos concerned?

    This part of the new feature of peoples does not yet well.

    To remove unwanted, faces you'd have to track down the photo in the times, enlarge, click the 'x' on the circle of faces to remove.  But it would be a lot of work and will result in a white, empty people album in your people list. I made a few hundred times and merged the empty thumbnails a face without a name, and I hope that now for a fix to get rid of them. Repair of the library did not help to empty people.

    The other alternative is to let the people you dot care to stay around the section add people and ignore, but it will be difficult to add the people that you want to add because the list goes longer.

    What you shouldn't do is their fusion into a single album "strangers". That will mess up the memory and face recognition.

    You could add foreigners individually and then hide them.  But hiding people will prevent the picture with the hidden person are included in the submissions, and you don't want that either.

    Right now, I would ignore undesirables and wait for a update that fixes the problem with thumbnails of person empty. and send requests to Apple for the best tools to get rid of unwanted foreigners in photos showing a crowd of unknown people.

  • How to remove the unwanted icons in the toolbar next to the Start button?

    • I have two of these lines has never asked for them. What are they and can you help me to get rid of them please

    * original title - I have unwanted icons in my toolbar next to the Start button, how can I get rid of them please *.

    Hi Pauline,

    First of all, let's make sure that you have only the taskbar at the bottom and not additional toolbars.  Right-click on the Start button and click on properties.  Go to the tab bar tasks and do not forget to uncheck lock the taskbar if it is checked and click on apply.  Go to the tab tool bars.  Make sure that nothing is checked, unless you want the quick launch icons to show. This is normally what appears next to the start menu and is a quick way to see and start programs of your choice - you can add or remove icons at your convenience as follows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Add-or-remove-programs-on-the-Quick-Launch-toolbar.  If that's what you want to see (and which resembles what you want to get rid of), uncheck this box as well.  Click OK and the quick launch icons should be gone (but have been recorded and can be added by simply re - check the box).  Personally, I find them very useful, but if you don't them want, then you can remove them as described above - it's entirely your choice.

    Secondly, you say that it is in two rows.  This is probably because of two bars of additional tools, either because the taskbar has been extended to two lines instead of one.  If it is still two rows, then if you deleted all the toolbars, it is because the taskbar are expanded.  Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar and make sure Lock the taskbar are not checked - if so, uncheck the box.  Now hover your mouse on the top edge of the taskbar until it turns into a line with an arrowhead at each end and click the left mouse button and drag the taskbar to the bottom until it comes only one line (or up if you want to make three or more lines - your choice).  Release the mouse button and that will be your new taskbar.  You can lock it if you like by checking the lock the taskbar (as described above to unlock the taskbar - just click and a check mark will appear to indicate that it is locked) - this is for you.  Personally, I keep it unlocked so I can change more quickly - but it's a personal choice that everyone else does.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
