Thank you! I wish I had not upgraded to 10. Why didn’t tbey stop while they were ahead with Windows 7?

I clicked on the little Windows 10 icon on one of my Windows 7 machines and within one or two more clicks I was installing Windows 10. Something for all to be aware of. As of right now I’d say If you like your Windows 7 I’d keep it.

I went to Windows 10 Restore and am now back in Windows 7 that worked fine before and works fine again. I was duped into downloading Windows 10. Windows 10 is not ready for prime time. It is hard to use, doesn't recognize my stand alone hard drive, and wants me to open up an account with personal info. I don't give my phone number to anybody I don't know. I had it with the BS OS.

By the way, they tell you if you want to go back to Windows 7 you have 30 days to do it. What happens after the 30 day period is beyond me.
