Here is how to set it.
There's a way to get around that in a Win 10 machine; tell it you're on a
metered Internet connection. It won't update until you tell it to. It's

without severely bogging down. It is a small form
Windows 10 allows you to delay updates for up to 35 days.

Not quite -- I paid extra for a couple of off-lease Win 7 machines so

I've found "off lease" and refurbished older laptops quite good for
radio. A couple sellers on Amazon have worked for me. Including one with
