Every day I receive emails from folks who have updated their PCs to Windows 10 and subsequently discovered that they don’t like it.

Question from Cindy P.: I love your blog Rick, and I really appreciate all the great info you provide.
I’ve been following RicksDailyTips for a long time, and now I have question for you.
My company is expanding rapidly and I’ve spent the last 5 months travelling from city to city helping train all the new hires in our stores.
My laptop now has a long list of Wi-Fi networks from the hotels I’ve been staying in. I know I’ll never be staying in most of those hotels again so I’d like to remove those wireless networks.
Can you tell me how to do that? My laptop is a Dell and it’s running Windows 10.

Well, that time has arrived.
Starting immediately, the Windows 10 update files WILL be downloaded automatically along with the next batch of Windows Updates, and computers running Windows 7 or 8.1 that have automatic updates enabled WILL be updated to Windows 10 automatically. [Read more…]

I haven’t used Windows 10 long enough to form a firm opinion, but all these nagging feedback messages aren’t helping me form a good one.
How can I stop Windows 10 from pestering me for feedback?
