Read EACH & EVERY item in your Windows Updates from now on...

Unless you want to wake up one morning with Windows 10, which is like HAL 9000 with a crack habit. Don't believe me?

About 90% of them I tell it to hide them.

from win7 on my desktop, and from win8.1 on my laptop.
Download and installation took about an hour each.
(after 'imaging' 7&8 with Macrium Reflect so I could trash 10 if needed.)
Have had 'zero' problems.
All third party apps and associated files are in place.
All browser bookmarks in place.
All e-mail addys in place.
All music and photos in place.
I share a dropbox account and it's all there/useable.
I didn't create an MS account and have no use for their offerings.
The only 'cloud' feature I use is a shared dropbox and it's all there/useable.
You are correct in choosing 'Warn me but don't download' about updates.

Anyway, I've found 10 to be good and not at all like the perceived horror stories.

You can remove all the spy shit if you buy Enterprise.

Did you read the article? M$ is admitting all this stuff.
