OT: Stopping Windows from installing updates

[Steve Rhoden]

“you would be foolish in the extreme to skip security updates”
Well you can continue believing in that!
This is one of the hidden gremlins that makes many Vegas/NLE
users gets up one day and start having a nest of worries in there
editing workflow. Its not good for a dedicated editing/Motion
graphics/Compositing workstation!

I don’t see any reason for a Windows 7 user to upgrade. Not a single one.

Here’s one reason that tempts me. 192GB memory in V10 vs 16 GB in V7 Home Premium. Running multiple instances of Vegas, Photoshop and other apps oftentimes brings things to a crawl–especially Photoshop. Being able to add another 16 GB RAM is appealing. Hence, the temptation, although as others have warned, its probably best to wait awhile until the end of the free offer period. OTOH, I could just pay the upgrade cost to V7 Pro.

Added: The anywhere upgrade to V7 PRO is no longer available.

That’s a Home vs Pro argument. Not a Windows 7 vs Windows 10 argument. I have Windows 7 Pro with 24GB memory and I have no reason to upgrade to Windows 10.

Listen, if you are on windows 8, i always advise to upgrade to Windows 10.
But if you are on Windows 7, the option is yours, you can easily and confidently stick with Windows 7.
