And thank God you know how to do all that or where to find out how to do it. Can you imagine the poor person with only a little computer knowledge that mainly just wants to get his email and socialize on forums or balance his checking account? They guy that works 10 or 12 hour days to make ends meet and comes home just wanting to read his email from Aunt Susan then go to bed, without first spending hours and hours trying to fix all this garbage? His computer will be rendered useless unless he pays the $500 extortion fee demanded by MS.
Well played, MS, well played. Glad I haven't fallen for it yet but I fear there will be even more deception and strong arm tactics coming in the future that will make things even worse. Our days of enjoyable and productive computer usage that had been provided and revolutionized in a large part by Microsoft I fear have already come to an end. 
That is true and except for people like Lewis, Tim from PA, me and the other, few White Hat Hacker (MS calls us) the best anyone can hope for is to find a White Hat that has gone into the business such as the lady that runs the Computer Shop just a few miles away from me. Instead of 45 to 60 dollars an hour but she charges 25 so she can pay the bills.And thank God you know how to do all that or where to find out how to do it.

I'm now starting to see how they have planned to make their profits off of giving Win10 away free. Just like a Trojan Horse, give it away as a "free gift", then after the gift is accepted (installed) the bad guys pop out of it, make it so you can't go back to what you had before, and start killing everyone off until everyone else submits to their extortion.
I still use DOS on my 486.i want windows XP
10-4 and 7 was worse.
I did use XP until Microsoft stopped creating updates for it.
There is a supported version. Search for windows XP Black. I loaded it, recently for a lady that wanted her XP back and I kept the machine over night, loading software on it and the next morning it update from the people that wrote it, just as if MS were still supporting it.
Why... oh please, why do I believe that?
Fire that rascal up and either right click on My Computer or open the Menu and right click it and select Properties. If you have less than 3.5 gigs of RAM listed there, yes, it needs to have two Two Gig Sticks of RAM to run it's fastest. I loaded the unit, just left, withj the free Version of Comodo because it still covers XP and because it loads, at your discretion, Chrome and in addition to actively checking your files for virus' it makes Chrome into Chromodo, a web safe browser.
Maybe the huh is over Comodo? If so it is one of the top virus protections and they have a free version that is just tough on virus'. The only thing to dislike is it's visable presence on the Desk Top but folks get used to it.
