• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.

RE: how-to-lock-in-your-free-windows-10-upgrade-and-still-keep-using-your-old-windows
Two days after I read this, my husband accidentally started the Win10 download on our laptop. Even tho we’re both tech challenged (and he resists change of any kind), I calmly told him not to worry because I knew what to do! We currently have 8.1 with classic shell start menu activated and switching back was easy peasy.
Thanks so much for sharing this info and the zdnet link.
