Re: Whats included ?
What are you on (apart from Windows 10 obviously)? The problems I described are to do with the bloatware, the fact that you can't pin things to the start menu (except on the right hand side) and the Windows 8 style tiles and the new start menu.
The computer in question is now on Windows 10 there was a Candy Crush picture on the right hand side of the start menu see here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/05/15/windows_10_to_melt_your_brain_and_take_over_your_life/
and http://mywindowshub.com/how-to-remove-the-pre-installed-candy-crush-saga-from-windows-10/ which came bundled with the upgrade http://img.mywindowshub.com/images9/candy-present.jpg
The Xbox menu entry is still there and un-deletable. The camera is also unable to be removed from the menu under all applications and whilst the wifi is deletable I was told that could stay. There are universal apps that are listed under "All Apps" that he doesn't want to see when looking for a program and these can't be hidden and in some cases can't be deleted.
When I said that I couldn't guarantee that DURING A ROLLBACK TO WIN 7 that all the work he had done that morning would be safe I was probably being over cautious. However I didn't want something to go wrong and then cop the blame if his work was fecked by doing the roll back.
Win10 was installed thanks to the click the red x to upgrade trick that MSFT have started to use. I wasn't in the day he clicked (on what he thought was going) to close the nagware and it happened overnight that night. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36376962 and http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/05/26/microsoft_clarifies_upgrade_trick/
If he'd wanted the bloody upgrade that would have been one thing but the fact that he didn't and was tricked into letting it happen is another. This is someone the wrong side of 50 who came into work and saw his computer now looked wholly different to how he'd left it the previous evening.
