Microsoft silently preparing your PC for Win 10

Jesse, click on the Action Center in the bottom right System tray. Turn off that notification using the the link as shown below, but for the Windows 10 notification listing:

Lol, I left these kinds of updates alone. I haven't received a notification about that W10TP thingy. I guess I'll leave it that way

Jesse, click on the Action Center in the bottom right System tray. Turn off that notification using the the link as shown below, but for the Windows 10 notification listing:

Okay. Just did that!

 

[carwiz]

I think you downloaded it and it's saying it's ready to install.

 

[Jesse Williams]

Carwiz, I did. But, I have reset the notification center and hid the update. It now won't be nagging me anymore.

I said it before - it's a PUP.

 

[Melita]

I said it before - it's a PUP.

Isn't this term "PUP", the (disgustingly) politically correct term for Spyware?

 

[whs]

Nah, PUP is a Potentially Unwanted Program - usually Adware.

Carwiz, I did. But, I have not reset the notification center and hid the update. It now won't be nagging me anymore.

Should of taken a screen shot
Maybe someone else will

 

[carwiz]

Those green buttons will get you every time.

What exactly did you do? What was listed for that pop-up in Action Center? Did it actually say Windows 10 or Technical Preview in the listing title? The listing title is like "Set up backup" in picture above.

Not sure why MS can't release an all in one Windows 7 system readiness tool for those wishing to upgrade to Windows 10.

lol I suppose the term "is ready now" needs to be redefined too

To hard to find much easier to send out 4 so far updates to everyone than waiting for people to manually download a upgrade advisor like 7 and I believe 8 has :/
No sneak attackware involved

 

[whs]

I think they are just afraid that W10 will go the same route as W8 and now they pull all the stops to get people to migrate - and a lot of the common users will do just that not knowing what they are in for. Many will think it is just another update.

 

[ThrashZone]

Yep if 10 loads that update the install or roll back errors could be significant
A good test model to see just how many people have re-install media or use system images to recover the prior install,

Since M$ has removed digital river iso's M$ can see just how many people they can offer them to pretty coincidental in timing that imho :/

 

[whs]

I would not be too optimistic about people's ability to roll back with their own means. Few burn the recovery medium and even fewer make images. That will be a good business opportunity for the OEMs to sell them installation DVDs. I would charge at least $50. Stupidity has to pay.

 

[ThrashZone]

I checked on a manufacture replacement disk long ago it was 150.us "so called" specifically for my pc lol
It was cheaper to go to Amazon ... for the media 99us
I believe it was Acer

 

[whs]

Yeah right, there was a whole range of prices. Gateway once charged $20 for S&H and I think Dell shipped it for free. But I have also seen very high prices.

 

[groze]

On dell systems you can get for free re-installation disk but after warranty you will have to pay the cost of shipping. I know I got one under warranty.
