Reversing WIN10 blockers
System: Acer Aspire X3475, AMD A8-5500 APU with Radeon HD 3.2 GHz. WIN7 home premium. Service pack 1.
About June 2016 I wanted to protect my 64 bit computer from sneak-in WIN 10.
As a precaution of possibly changing my mind about replacing WIN 7 I downloaded WIN10-32 & WIN10-64 onto memory stick and DVD.
I run the following 2 programs:
___YYY__Win10Blocker___never10.exe
___YYY__WIN10 DisEnAble Selector___GWX_control_panel.exe
I modifies the front of the program name so I would know what these are for and not start them just to find out.
Since then WIN10 stuff did no longer appear in the WIN7 update list.
However, all 76 updates for WIN7 were blocked too. The update process would list them, I permitted, the "download & install" process would run forever.
Next day WIN7 update would again offer 76 WiN7 updates.
I run the WIN7 update permission about 3 times, then gave up.
Now as the free WIN10 period has passed maybe there is less or no danger of WIN10 sneaking in for free. So it might be a good idea to reverse the effect of the 2 programs I run.
What is your opinion and what should be done, and how?
