[Framers] Windows 10 "hijacked" my computer

[Ken Poshedly]

Grant,
Only one thing comes to mind: "YIKES!"
I guess I'll just live with Windows 10 and then gradually work on the privacy settings to at least somewhat minimize my availability to marketers. (I know one can never be truly anonymous, but there are some things one can do to be "smaller". I also now use "Duck Duck Go" as my search engine instead of Google itself.)

 I can tell you (after having the same stealth install), the if you do the "revert" you will find that many applications (Firefox, iTunes,others) will not be able to update, and if you delete them, you cannot reinstall them.I'm giving serious thought to shifting fulltime to Linux Mint, and only run Windows 7 (Ultimate), in a VM space.

Well, Gang, Windows 10 wants me and it wants me NOW!

Some months ago, I signed up for the free offer of Windows 10 for installation at MY convenience.

Early this morning when I check the home desktop, Windows 10 had apparently self-installed overnight. (I usually leave the platform on all night.)

I rebooted and when prompted with the Windows 10 EULA (end-user license agreement), I declined. Windows 10 said it would then  "reinstall my Windows 7".

I didn't have time to wait for it so I let it do its own thing and left for my office; I'll see how things played out when I get home tonight.

Two questions:
1. Regarding FrameMaker (I'm running FM10), am I facing any operational or other problems or must I reinstall it? If so, that might be a problem because I didn't "de-activate" my second license. (One is on the desktop and one is on a laptop.)

2. Am I facing any general problems with Windows 10?

I hate when this happens.
