I'm back to Windows 10

They probably have a replacement program they will sell you.:)
Like their new office program for only $6.99 a month.

So far, all that Windows 10 has done for me is take away Windows Media Center, which I could use with Windows 7 to watch and record tv broadcasts through my tv adapter. I guess they have given me something to replace it but I haven't yet found it.

I agree. Win10 is OK but they are trying to lead the sheep to slaughter.By making it inconvenient to change from apps and methods they want you to use and buy. I hate the fact that it is almost impossible to block updates unless the computer is never connected to another ISP.
Win10 to me is nothing more than a polishing of Win7 with enough changes to make you learn something new.

I have not changes, as 10 removes window media software along with other Window software, I use for video editing that I have come to like.

You can use this link and download Windows 10 and burn it to a DVD or put it on a USB stick and then you can install it anytime that you like. It will only install on an computer with an eligible version of Windows. You can also install right from the webpage.

If you are uncertain about the update, you can wait or you can do a complete image backup of your current boot hard drive and can always restore that image to your computer if you don't like Win 10.

If you are moving from Win 7 you may just want to stay with Win 7. If you have Win 8 or 8.1, Win 10 is better - just be sure to go through all privacy and security settings and set them to where YOU want them and not where MS wants them.

They say that the "Qwerty" keyboard was invented because the typists were outrunning the mechanical typewriters of the day and causing jams. The same must be true of Windows 10. By adding a click here and a pause there, they have slowed the devices to match the slowest user and processor. In other words, I think they went out of their way to make it clunky.
