Windows Ten Anniversary Update?

[Grandpappy]

Well I've just experienced the latest 'phase' of upates from Microsoft, the Anniversary update! It took 4 hours ( I have a slow broadband connection) and everything has been ***d about again. It took me days to sort the last lot out and now I have to repeat the whole thing! Agh,but! The Windows.old folder is back!!! (take note OG). But now I have to find a way to stop MS from getting in to my system and 're-arranging' things again.
I'm tempted to go back to Windows 7.
Cheers all

That's not the windows.old folder containing your windows 7. It'll contain your previous version of windows 10.

Noted, thanks. But I suspect it's a brand new windows.old

Sounds like I've got a massive update due too, then.

Cheers.

Yes I tried to update to W10 a couple of weeks ago:

Needless to say I won't be attempting anything like it again. I suppose one day Microsoft will get the hang of designing operating systems for computers but they are not there yet.

All my pcs have had the Anniversary Update and nothing has been messed about - files, documents and settings just the same.

Ditto hc laptop and desk top upgrades done and my son had his desktop upgraded without a hitch. By the way my son is running without a home router and all went 100% using my unlimited on BT hot spot.

So,it seems I've been fooling myself! The 'new' Windows.old folder will actually contain the last version of Windows ten that replaced the windows.old that used to contain my windows7?
I have noticed though that windows ten HAS slowed everything down and this latest update is so confusing.
Cheers all.
