Why I keep having bombarded with requests to upgrade to windows 10?

Every day I get the pain of Windows trying to 'upgrade' to windows 10 me

How can I stop it?

Why Windows insist on calling it an upgrade.

It will be just more of my wasted life by learning how to press keys in a different order to be able to do what I already do now.

Nigel

Hello Nigel,

For the first year that Windows 10 is out, he will be free to users with a license for Windows 7 or 8.1.

If you don't know that you do not want to update then please copy the text following that I have which is in italics below and paste it into Notepad.

The Publisher of the registry Windows Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx]"DisableGwx"=dword:00000001

Once you have that then go ahead and save it to your desktop and save it under "block 10" or something like that. ""

Return to your desktop and locate this file and change the extension from .txt to .reg file

Save it, and then double-click the file. It is to modify the registry to block the upgrade of Windows 10. I use a lot.

Thank you

  • Keep xp pro as VM after upgrade to windows 8.

    I plan to upgrade my xp pro machine to windows 8, but want to keep my current xp available as a virtual machine under windows 8. I'm experimenting with a virtual instance of xp on my xp - the current system, it asks me to activate the VMS OS. Will I have the same problem when using this virtual machine under windows 8 and xp activation will be possible after the upgrade from same xp to windows 8?
    Otherwise, no work around?

    Hi Diwazz,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    When you upgrade Windows XP to Windows 8, you will be able to keep only personal files. You need to reinstall all programs after the custom installation of Windows 8.

    When you reinstall the virtual machine, you must reactivate the same. You can also check if the virtual machine that you are using is compatible with Windows 8.

  • How can I reformat laptop which came with the free upgrade to Windows 7. Update download

    I have a Hp Pavilion DV4-1430us comes with Windows Vista and had a free upgrade to Windows 7. I have updated successfully in December 2009. Laptop still works fine, but it's certainly time to reformat.  Only problem is that I don't have the disc of Windows 7 because it was a download.  I believe that the recovery partition will have the older operating system.  Can I create a recovery for the OS system disk I use now (windows 7)?  I don't have any except the original e-mail that said that I ordered the upgrade with a non-functional link on the HP Windows 7 Upgrade site.

    The Vista HP recovery partition may still exist, but, due to the upgrade of the operating system, it may not work. Options to return the computer to a factory State include the marking of the score of "HP Recovery" active using the Windows disk management console or you are ordering and using a set of HP recovery disks.

    Before you recover your computer, please check your email for a provided HP Windows 7 key or use the Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder to retrieve your current Windows 7 product key. Then download the same version of Windows 7, you have HERE or HERE. Now create your installation media of Windows 7 on a DVD or a USB Flash drive. Please download and use Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool to create the installation media.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • I keep having problems with 3ds and .obj files

    Any time I try to import a 3ds file I get errors saying that I don't have enough RAM. Say they cannot parse the EPS files. I have 8 GB of RAM, so this seems unlikely. I've looked everywhere for a solution to this.

    My ultimate goal is to take a model of MacBook Pro in Photoshop import into After Effects.

    For some reason it works ever.

    I'm on an i7 MacBook Pro 2011 with 8 GB of RAM. 10.6.8 running

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Jason,

    Thanks for the links. Nice samples.

    On the model, there are a few things. The holes to vent on each side of the keyboard is primarily what causes the problem of load. When explode you all nested components, there are more than 100 entities K and I'm guessing that the importer of collada Ps is not like that. "Undesirable" Triangulating you see comes from faces in collision. If you go to 3D > render... settings and check the 'remove back faces' section face Style, your Ray Trace should look much better.

    Here's what I came up with the deleted holes (let me know if you want the source of .dae or psd files):

    I saw something large on the use of the Ps in After Effects 3D layers. The General interop has some major roadblocks. I'll see if I can get some tips for you (you ask or heard from Todd Kopriva?)

    Kind regards

    Hi all

    I found this in another forum.  I suggest you try the following.

    Control Panel / hardware and sound / Power Options / change the parameters of the Plan / change advanced power settings.  Find the parameters of the material sleep like Wireless, PCI Express and hard as well as the things you don't have in your system under "change settings that are currently unavailable" and disable them.  These are the usual elements who do not return from sleep mode.

  • Why my realtek rtl8188su has left work after upgrade to windows 7?

    I just put update vista to windows 7 pro, and during the updates, my realtek rtl8188ru wireless card stop working.  I drove back to before the last update, and it started working again.  What is the cause and how can I solve this problem?

    The first step is to remember the famous words of wisdom: If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

    The second step is to NEVER make an upgrade with anything that did not come from the manufacturer or a reliable source...

    As a general rule, it is best to install only the updates of the security. And you should always stay away from hardware (optional) on the Microsoft site drivers! Chances are the drivers that you are fine just the way they are. If you did not need to update, you should go to the manufacturer Web site the real to do.

  • Acer laptop comes with Vista and upgraded to Windows 7 now does not

    My daughter has an Acer laptop and her boyfriend spoke to him in switching to Windows 7, but we are not sure if it was legitimate. He worked for a year or so, but now she cannot access the start menu, you cannot start in safe mode and may have a virus. She has no backup discs. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Well, if she worked for a year, then it is probably quite legitimate. Whatever this is not activated within 30 days is usually made in an unusable state, or limited. The most likely problem is a virus. She is able to run programs? Some useful malware removal tools are:

    Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool
    Malwarebytes
    SUPERAntiSpyware
    Spybot Search and Destroy
    Microsoft safety scanner

    And it's not the Windows 7 installation disc that used her boyfriend? If you cannot use these tools or the computer is too slow and does not respond then you can use a Live CD. What you do is start you on a CD or a flash drive in a separate operating system in order to perform analyses of virus on the hard drive. You will need to use another computer with a blank CD burner and imgburn program. Write these two files .iso with imgburn.

    BitDefender Rescue CD
    Kaspersky Rescue Disk

    Turn on the computer. Insert the CD of bitdefender inside her computer. Turn off and turn on and watch directly downstairs or upstairs for command to enter the Boot Manager (usually F12) or BIOS Setup (usually F2). Is there is a Boot Manager button and then you must press the key once in a relationship at the time wherever you turn on the computer. Select this option to boot from CD/DVD.

    Is there is only one button for BIOS, then you will need to manually rearrange the order of boot devices so that the CD/DVD drive is at the top which makes the first boot device.

    When the operating system loads up, make sure that you connected to the internet and update the latest virus definitions. You can then run the scan on the hard drive. After that all viruses are removed, then do you the same thing with the Kaspersky CD. It's just to make sure that all viruses are removed.

    I hope that my explanation was not too difficult to follow.
