Microsoft finally has a proper way to opt out of Windows 7/8 to Windows 10 upgrades
http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/01/microsoft-finally-has-a-proper-way-to-opt-out-of-windows-78-to-windows-10-upgrades/ The upgrade notifications have annoyed many home users who, for whatever reason, do not want to upgrade. They'd surely be even more annoying to business users. Accordingly, Microsoft is, at last, offering a way to control the upgrade offer. Administrators can block upgrading through Windows Update and suppress the taskbar advertisement. Fresh installations of Windows 8.1 also offer to upgrade to Windows 10; Microsoft's instructions provide a way of disabling this, too. - - - Not so simple for non-techies, though. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
