Susoni/Lynda!

I noticed that "Watchman" posted a video on Windows 10 "invasion of privacy" issues!

Tell folks that if they are able to hang on to Widows 7 to install and run this software, GWX Control Panel, found here, top of the list!:

Follow the instructions and it will correct the GWX issue!

I found this because I am a copy technician and am always looking for simple ways to help my customers avoid "issues", the main issues in my case are avoiding updates that "kill" print drivers via OS updates and necessitate ridiculous service calls for customers that are not savvy to these issues.

USE THIS GWX CONTROL PANEL!!!...it will save your butt!

Also, if you are looking to upgrade your computer OS and don't want to kowtow to the microsoft beast and use current hardware that you have, then I can HIGHLY recommend that you try Ubuntu:

http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop

-OR-

Linux Lite OS:

https://www.linuxliteos.com/

These OS distributions are in the form of an ISO, which is a disk image ready to be "burned" by your disk burner software.

Ubuntu works great on what I consider to be a minimum of a Intel Core 2 (Duo) I have tested a Dell Vostro 200 & 220 Towers, also Lenovo ThinkCentre M58P Small Form Factor (SFF) CPU.

With The Linux Lite OS, I have tested older hardware such as Dell Dimensions with Pentium 4 Processors.

The Older P4 systems don't seem to handle video as well because of the more complex video codecs, but they give you a secure and stable computing platform.

Minimum recommended RAM for 32 bit os is 2 Gigabytes (GB) and for 64 bit system is 2 Gigabytes.

The memory footprint (OS Requirement) runs approximately 450 Megabytes (MB) for a 32 bit system and 500 MB for a 64 bit system.

I have not found anything I don't like with my Ubuntu install...I have had experience using Mac OS X which is quite similar in the fact of strict permissions of asking for passwords before a software install/update.

With Ubuntu, I even had an old USB Epson scanner that I was able to use with a simple scanner program!

Best Wishes!

Let Me Know If I Can Assist With Any More Info!
