         I want to stay with Windows 10 Home Edition as long as possible.    I don't have the Restoro repair tool but I do have Wise Disk Cleaner.      Does anyone know if I can use this to block Windows 11 being installed?   I am assuming it works in the same way as Restoro.     So where would I go to on Wise Disk Cleaner to block Windows 11 being installed?

When you have the little orange blob for an update, check in Settings ->updates and, if it asks if you want to update to Win11, just click on

Stay on Windows10 for now - see my post of 3 November #30

Installed Windows 11 on my day to day pc. Only problem I have had so far, was with saving data in Excel.
My laptop will not accept Windows 11, so it will stay with 10.

The only problem I had, was with one of my mail programs.  I could receive but not send. Didn't like Windows 11, and uninstalled it, back on Windows 10 and mail program back to normal.

Cheers

I am still hanging on to Windows 7 on our main comp, my husband has Windows 10 on his laptop which I don't like much but I think I am a creature of habit and don't like the changes but I am sure I will have to soon.

You can still update from Win7 to Win10 for free. If you search for "Windows 10 ISO" you should find Microsoft's relevant page.

The Media Creation Tool will let you create either a USB stick or a DVD with the installation on, and you run the Setup from there.

I would hang on a bit though, as there will be a fresh version of Win10 this month. If you download that, it would mean only one update rather than two, and the chance of reverting to Win7 for a week if you don't like the result.
Looking at ALSTON in south Ribble area, ALSTEAD and DONBAVAND/DUNBABIN etc. everywhere, HOWCROFT and MARSH in Bolton and Westhoughton, PICKERING in the Whitehaven area.
