can you still buy a windows 7 licence. Thinking about replacing the windows os on a new desk based computer with windows 10 pre installed.
Still no proper manual control over updates, the UI is still pretty fragmented, there are ways to disable the auto update feature but most have some kind of downside as well unfortunately.

So I very nearly got stung by a stealth windows 10 install a few moments ago. I was merrily working on a data tracking spreadsheet for work and excel crashed losing at least 20 minutes of work - annoying but not as annoying as the next notification that says windows 10 update is installing...
I'm now stuck in windows update as it won't let me remove the update until I have installed it - doh. I removed the install file manually but it's still locked out. Any ideas?
You can control them with the pro version?

I've only just noticed your reply. I take defender off because I use ESET Smart Security. Therefore normally one of the first things I do when installing 8.1 or 10 is to disable Windows Defender.Why do you take defender off?

Depends what your level of requirement is - if you like to be fully hands on then no.
Its a shame Windows 10 has many potentially great features shackled by some exceedingly limited perspective in the implementation.
It does, but MSMG Toolkit physically removes it from the Windows installer.Does that not disable it itself when it installs?

Sounds abit fishy to me, like MS getting desperate...
They absolutely should be rolling out security fixes for 7 and 8 for that given how prevalent those OSes and licensing deals, etc. are in business use alone.
