F@*K Microsoft...

A neighbor asked to borrow some tools to uninstall Windows 10.

I was glad to help.

If you manually download and install each major release into it's own directory, you can manage many versions of java installed side by side. I have to do this on my work laptop for the myriad of manufacturer's appliances I setup/manage.

There are some that use downloadable java applets that refuse to work with any current browser due to security restrictions in the browser, and one in particular that requires the applet to get through the initial setup via ethernet (if serial console isn't available) - (P.S. FU very much Brocade), but there are ways to launch the applets without a browser.

Not as much internally for our java issues, most any current version seems to be ok. It's all the outside vendors/agencies we deal with. I was just told that we need to use a .66 version of java to access a service? WTH. We're behind the times and using .91 version. I can't go back to .66 version.

ugh.

I switched to Mac computers a few years ago. No problems at all. Never going back to Microsoft.

Of course you can.

Download the x86 offline version (you are using x86 java and not x64 right?) and install it into a different directory.

Using java control panel, you can select which versions are active, default.

My friends and I had no issues with 10. For whatever reason both of my parents computers have the same issues with kinda of a crash on boot or something. It's allegedly a semi widespread issue? I blame them having shitty Mcaffee or something.

Uh, no it won't. If you have Windows update set correctly it will wait for your input, period.

What it does is check the update box for the Windows 10 upgrade itself, even if you have Windows Update set to require that you approve all updates. Then the next shutdown cycle installs Windows 10 without your explicit approval. This has happened twice already for my office computers and I had to back out the update manually. Which itself screws up your computer. Microsoft are arrogant little pricks.

Why is she uninstalling Win 10 from what appears to be a Power Mac from 1994?

Wow, it really took 30 posts to get to the inevitable?

The last few versions of OSX have destroyed a lot of that lead they had over Microsoft ... as they push OSX to be more iOS like they are slowly ruining it.

Didn't you read? Windows 10 doesn't ask for permission before installing, regardless of platform.
