...and a partridge in a pear tree.
Yes, the red x will set you up on a scheduled update to Win10. They knew that people would fall for it. That is exactly why they did it.
but the real question is WHY does windoze want you to upgrade??? what are they putting on your pooter that benefits them??
why would they go to all the expense of creating a series of files for free??
I've heard they are doing it for nefarious reasons (easier for marketers to track our usage, etc_). But that might just be hearsay. Lori might know.but the real question is WHY does windoze want you to upgrade??? what are they putting on your pooter that benefits them??

CPU = Central Processing Unit, i.e. processor
RAM = Random Access Memory, i.e. Memory
What retic needs to know: What processor is inside your PC and how much memory have you got.
He's looking for something like Intel Celeron <somelettersandnumbers> or Intel Core i<somelettersandnumbers> or
AMD Athlon <something> (or something completely different
If you don't know it might help to tell him what the exact name of your PC is - like "Dell Inspiron 2300".
I'm sure there are tools that you just run and that tell you what you got - but since I'm not a Win guy I'll leave that for someone else to recommend
Good morning army!
PS: GB= Gigabyte, MB= Megabyte; sorry, we computer guys love abbrev's
obviously... you even abbreviated abbreviations
was delivering things today... pretty much useless oddball stuff that Office Depot sells online and then I began to look at ALL of the things that humanity has built, roads, buildings, sewers, signs, stop lights, streets, cars, empty abandoned buildings, useless vehicles on the side of the road filled with potholes... and began to realize that we have way too much stuff..
next time you take a ride thru a city... look ( and I mean LOOK) at all the stuff that has been done, built, assembled and then think about its true purpose and was it really needed???

Tell me about it. It's been raining here for days (and this is NOT England) - that disastrous flooding pictures from lower bavaria is less than 20 miles away from my home town. My mom's safe, she hasn't even heard the news yesterday when I called her and she said it was actually quite a sunny day there. Crazy weather everywhere it seems.
Hope all of you are safe, be it in NC, Texas or wherever
Now that you mention it, I saw some clips on the news (I believe it was yesterday) of the flooding in Germany.Tell me about it.

sounds like a pretty up-to-date machine to me. however I'm outta the hardware game and haven't installed anything but stock Linux Mint or Ubuntu in a while, so I leave the call to Retic who seems to do that more often than I am
But my 2ct:
If I were you I would go for the current Linux Mint with Cinnamon Desktop (there are different user interface "flavors" for less powerful machines, afaik Cinnamon is the most advanced and "beautiful").
Download the 64bit image from the Linux Mint homepage, burn that image to a DVD and boot from that DVD to get a first glimpse. You can install from there later as well (or right away).
Don't know any good HowTos and don't know if you know how to boot from a CD/DVD, but here's the first thing I could find:
How to Install Linux Mint
Then again, Retic to the rescue
At some point, you and or retic should put the instructions on a thread in this subforum. Start by outlining the information that is needed, then how to load it (pros and cons for the different methods), and other useful info. Otherwise, we'll be coming to you one at a time over the next 12 months and wear yourasses out. I learned this from teaching people kayfun builds. I finally made a tutorial and just link it now.sounds like a pretty up-to-date machine to me. however I'm outta the hardware game and haven't installed anything but stock Linux Mint or Ubuntu in a while, so I leave the call to Retic who seems to do that more often than I am

Agreed.
I'm sure someone has already put good tutorials out there and I'm hoping on retic to know where they are

Thanks for the info, appreciate that.. yes I will also see what retic thinks as wellsounds like a pretty up-to-date machine to me. however I'm outta the hardware game and haven't installed anything but stock Linux Mint or Ubuntu in a while, so I leave the call to Retic who seems to do that more often than I am

I just read about the army truck swept away in a flood at Ft. Hood. Three were killed, six are missing.
I saw a pic of somebody's land, where their house was on a tiny piece of dry land, surrounded by water. There were horses standing next to the house. They had nowhere else to go. I can't remember what town that one was in. I also read about flooding in Germany. Glad your family is safe. One story said the flooding started in May. Actually it started in March. Then it flooded again in May. Now it is flooding again in June. I don't think I've been this ready for dry weather since I was a kid.
Retic, I am not prepared to face a major operating system change right now. In the future when things have calmed down, I will give it a go.
