I discovered the hard way that Microsoft upgraded my Windows 7 VM to Windows 10. The upgrade did not include reinstalling all my Windows 7 applications, so I was dead in the water until I extracted windows 7 from Time Machine. My copy of Adobe Illustrator CS2 will not install in windows 10, so I can't use Windows 10. How can I prevent Microsoft from giving me this ruinous upgrade?
Hi jamesC10, you can try to turn off automatic updates in your Windows 7 OS by following the steps which will prevent your Windows 7 OS from automatically upgrading to Windows 10. -> Click Start, type Windows update in the search box, and then click Windows Update in the Programs list. -> In the left pane, click Change settings. -> Select the option that you want. -> Under Recommended updates, select the Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates or Include recommended updates when downloading, installing, or notifying me about updates check box, and then click OK.
