Well that seemed a bloody great feature update done yesterday.
Quite a lot of new stuff, if one actually needs it!

You radical! And there was me thinking that you were more of a DR-Gem man. Oh well....big-all wrote:i dont use any new features have it looking as like windows xp as possible

Re: Win 10
A couple of weeks ago, Win 10 decided that I was going to have the update to 1803 whether I wanted it or not. I didn't want it because every time it tried it had failed!
Anyway, it managed to go ahead while my back was turned, and broke Win 10. I tried to restore from a full backup, but it wouldn't recognise the drive so I guess it had done the boot record or something.
So I reinstalled from scratch.
I love you so much Microsoft.
And then I had to uninstall all their free stuff I don't want. At least what you can uninstall.
I'm sure that this is leading down the subscription path.

Re: Win 10
I have a little Toshiba 9 inch netbook that fits on my van shelf above my head just nicely. It's not the fastest netbook but it does the job well and it's great for travelling with. I don't have enough space to install the latest updates but it keeps reminding me at inconvenient moments and I don't know how to switch these notifications off.
The sceptic in me is convinced it's just another way to force you to upgrade equipment every few years.
