How to easily disable automatic updates in Windows 10

Posted on December 20, 2015

Windows-10-logoIn the past, I have typically recommended having automatic updates enabled on Windows machines, for one reason: Protection against recently discovered security threats.

I still believe that to be the best course of action for most Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users.

RicksDailyTips Weekly Newsletter for Dec 5, 2015 – Tips for installing the free Windows 10 update

Posted on December 5, 2015

newsletterHello everyone. I hope you all had a great week!

By all accounts, Windows 10 is turning out to be a huge success for Microsoft.

If current estimates turn out to become reality, Windows 10 will soon become the most widely used version of Windows in history. There are several reasons for this:

1 – During the first year, Windows 10 is a free upgrade for current users of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, and apparently folks are taking advantage of the freebie big time.

If you’re wondering why you would need a backup when you can always simply roll back to the previous Windows version if you find that you don’t like Windows 10, here’s why:  [Read more…]
