Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18753335 its not just been deleted and formatted, its been overwritten with windows 10 and yet no sign of windows 10 data and all the old data is still there. this isn't some file table only being deleted deal, this is bending the laws of physics. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 67275676 United States07/22/2015 05:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not a computer person but it sounds like we probably all have windows 10 on our computers and don't know it. Cause they ask will you be going to windows 10. I never checked the box but something recently appeared on my opening page that would indicate that someone clicked it cause it is there waiting to be installed. But, after hearing this, I'm thinking that its being surreptitiously loaded on everyone's windows's system whether they know it or not. |
