MS has released a tool to hide updates or pick and choose which ones to install.

Seems the backlash worked. Remains to be seen though.

If you Video card is not compatible to win10 that means  bye bye.Just always prepare yourself when updating windows.

Hi,

would a 500 MB card with a 3 ghz dual core bios computer work on windows 10?.

Yes thats great , well perhaps they looked at how updates are done in linux.

Always good if you can fully or temporary disable updates and virus scanners if you want to.

Hope they will  be a simple question on install if a user wants updates to be installed automatically or not.

i thought you dont need uefi for win 10. it's only mandatory for oem building new machines, like in win8?

It wouold be nice if win XX 'looked' at your pc rig FIRST, before updating OS.  And checked to make sure hardware / etc. was compatabe with proposed upgrade ... and blocked said upgrade if appropriate?

Hi, did now use google a bit.

The security bot and fast boot won`t work.

Secondly your processor and your graphiccard has to run on windows7/vista.

Then it might work without uefi, but sometimes  system is too old.

On my laptop it would run , on my pc perhaps ( think yes but don`t wanna try at the moment, perhaps two years later).
