In Reply to: RE: Do not upgrade to Windows 10 Anniversary Edition posted by Gordon Rankin on August 04, 2016 at 07:54:40
Is this some special addition you have to buy, or do I need to be concerned that it will just update itself?
My PC came with 10, my exe's had 7 or 8 on it. Last Fall I had put JRiver on it for her, and loaded some music. I got a pop up saying an update was ready/needed, I hit start and ended up loading 10 on her laptop.I think she is alright with it, as I would have heard otherwise. And she doesn't care about sound quality.
I also have been getting a notice from Toshiba that my bios are out of date. So far I haven't done it, as I am not sure what it is. Any advice on that would be appreciated.

"BIOS (basic input/output system) is the program a personal computer's microprocessor uses to get the computer system started after you turn it on. It also manages data flow between the computer's operating system and attached devices such as the hard disk, video adapter, keyboard, mouse and printer."Updating the bios can improve the function of your computer. If things are working well for you, it probably isn't necessary. I updated my bios on my Asus a number of times and it did improve network performance among other things going from 8.1 to 10.
If you have Windows 10 Home, the update is automatic. Pro can be delayed, but I have installed it on my non-music computers and it was easy and uneventful.

" If you have Windows 10 Home, the update is automatic"Users of Win10 Home can prevent automatic updates by going to settings/wifi/advanced and selecting metered connection.No choice for wired connection though.
One other bad thing with updates in Win 10 is that specific updates cannot necessarily be selected. For example my choice today for updates is a definitions update for Windows Defender ( which I want) and Win 10 Anniversary edition ( Version 1607) which I don't. I cannot have one without the other.

You can uninstall update- for a short time- I think?
One of the complaints about Windows 10 was that you begin to lose control over what software is installed on your PC. There are ways to hack your PC to delay restarts indefinitely, but as you point out, there is no way to differentiate between upgrades you want at a later date and upgrades you want now.
