Wow, I'm using my new system with Windows 10!!
After about 5 hours of tearing my hair out it's not looking too bad.
@blkdimnd, I had actually downloaded Ultimate Tweaker from Major Geeks and that is good.
@ Rockin Robbins, I am glad to hear that I can purchase and install Win 7 if I give up with 10 but since it's on I will persist.
Trying to wade through all this extra baggage is a total pain but managed to uninstall many apps that I wouldn't use.
This computer on startup already had McAfee installed, should I uninstall it or let it go?
I have installed Spybot and after pressing 'Immunize' seems to be running ok.
I actually managed to install Firefox and using Mozbackup restored my bookmarks.
I still haven't been able to stop Windows updates, that is annoying, hopefully that doesn't become a pain.
I really must try getting a Linux boot DVD and give it a go sometime.
One thing annoying is I keep touching the 'touch plate' and sending the mouse flying across the screen, I am using a standard usb mouse.
I am going to see if I can install Total Commander, I liked that on XP.
Thanks for the support guys.
