Beware of the latest update for Win 7 and 8.x

It does not warn what you are installing in the brief 'Standard' text but it is the new updated GWX Crapware.

Thank you MS ...... yet again. >:( >:(

Every time I've experienced a significant upgrade in Windows (e.g. 3.11 to 95) I've found it hard it get used to the change and for some weeks been wishing I was back on the old version.

I've had been using a Windows 7 PC for some time and recently bought a new PC with Windows 10. The plan was to spend some evenings getting used to the new version and transferring stuff across with a view to making the permanent swap between Christmas and new year. It didn't work out like that - I've made the swap already because I so like the new version.

The holiday will be spent upgrading the old PC to Win 10 for my wife as she is currently using an XP machine.

I do agree with you about the M$ tactics however - doing the downloads automatically without the user opting to do so was criminal!

I have one W7 PC left now and it will not get any updates as it only runs my weather station. As soon as I can find weather s/w which runs under Linux and does what my current s/w does this last M$ PC will go Linux.

Chrysalis, it just appeared on my PC, at the time, and I did not check the date.
I was more concerned that MS was still pushing the 'Win 10' update by stealth.
Probably old because I have automatic updates switched off, now I think about it !!

No, it appeared on 18 Dec on my office PC and that's kept up to date - possibly 're-issued' by MS?

likely this, they reissue them to try to catch out people that have already blocked them. You will upgrade to windows 10 or else...
