  So Windows 10 isn’t free after all.
  To control updates (and privacy) you have to have Windows 10 Pro, which requires $$$.

  The best ways wo avoid forced Windows 10 updates may be switch to Apple or Linux.
  
  I’m mainly set up ith Win 7’s right now and seriuosly checking both alternatives. I figure I might have till 2020 to come up with an alternative to Microsoft.
  
  Any suggestions of other possibly viable options to leave the Microsoft dictatorship will be cheerfully awaited.
  
  I believe I have time to do this carefully and a little help is always nice.

  My best suggestion is wait. By 2020 there will be options that we can’t even imagine at this point.
