At The End Of A Week

I started “upgrading to Windows 10” last Sunday and have been trying various things to get it working. Today I think I made some progress. I created a DVD that is supposed to contain every thing I need.

The reason I feel better about it is that after the ISO disk image was downloaded, the software actually verified it. Then I burned and verified a DVD. I’ll wait until tomorrow to try it, but the DVD should work for both my Win 7 machines without waiting around for Windows to download several Gigs every time.

A minor annoyance is that every time I boot the big box it says it has installed another update. At this point I don’t think I could honestly say I had installed all of the updates to Windows 7 if I hadn’t just finished checking.

I know that standard Win10 doesn’t allow you to refuse updates — I’m assuming that there’s also no way to rollback/uninstall the latest update if it breaks things?

If you do the Win 10 update for 30 days you are supposed to be able to use restore to go back to your previous version of Windows. OTOH if that works as well as everything else has with this process for me, I’m not inclined to toss out my Win 7 install disks.
