Windows 10.

[NFG]

I used VMware to take images, then if I want to look at something I run it up on this mint 17.

 

Yes, thats a good way to run Windows, Ive used VMWare for a good few years & Virtual box also quite a good solution, prefer VM Ware though very good for testing server confgurations & software etc

 

When Windows borks its easy to restore from a snapshot

Got a new pc that had 8.1 on it so put 10 on straight away,its better that 8.1 but only drawback is the email, you cant create new folders for different emails so still use the old pc for this.

I run one of the " free " email accounts on mine , Mail . com works fine . Fire fox is my default browser as well .

Don't want it, how can I turn off the pop up which keeps asking me to upgrade? Even if I click "later" it proceeds to start an update. I've just been closing the window...

Its irritating at best, but unfortunately mS have made it complicated

OK, not quite sure why its should take three hours to re-config after a simple removal of an update.

 

MS cause a lot of grief by thrusting its incarnation upon everyone

 

Is it OK now?

Fraid knot. How long should it have taken?

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Fed up now, going to pull the power / battery...

Hi should have happened on a re-boot

 

Not sure why its stopped, I know that procedure to work - seems just another bloody useless quirk of windows Im afraid.

 

Maybe F8 on startup & last known good? or hold Windows key & press R, type msconfig & click OK
