Thanks for that. It certainly appears to have died. Been an annoying laptop from the start

I deleted the Windows 10 app from my taskbar, and I removed the updates the other day. Got up this morning, and the app has re appeared on my taskbar, the windows 10 install pop up, just popped up again. Microsoft is creepy and spooky, the way it does things in the back ground

Sounds like the Master Boot Record has corrupted, if you can get to command prompt using the repair disc than you might be able to fix it.

Have you ever read the celestine prophecy. Sometimes it is right in front of us and clear what we should do. Yet many people then still ignore the signs.
Aye, right!
That's a double positive that means a resounding negative

And what if it doesn't use the 1980s MBR but a more modern GPT together with the UEFI?

I thought it worked for all versions of windows, even 10 through the advanced startup repair options on the recovery disc?
Quite happy to be told I'm wrong though

You have to hide that particular update, just follow the steps on that thread.

To be fair, and I know I've been poking fun. He has had a rough ride in the upgrade and just really doesn't like all the tiles etc and windows 7 is smooth for him. I guess that is fair enough.
I'm really appreciating windows 10, I think it is a very good evolution and on my surface pro 3 it is working perfectly. The hybrid experience of the device is truly enhanced. And with msdn, office365, and creative cloud all my core apps are really up todate as well.

Me ?
If so, it's just I tried Windows 10 and my Computer went funny. Video files would not play, and it looks like it could be intrusive. So I simply rolled back to 7 and everything worked, besides I am on an old Computer. When I get a new machine, I will go with whatever is on the machine, provided it's not Windows 10. Might get an Apple MacBook , failing that I will retire and go into an old peoples home

Fair enough, I guess its not for everyone and you have a year before the free upgrade runs out. Videos issue sounds more like a missing codec to be fair.
Confused about the intrusive comment though.
Although thinking about a macbook is pretty out of the frying pan into the fire they ruined the touch pad on the latest models too.

Make a backup first
thunderbird merely uses the mbox format, the same as zillions of other mail clients across Linux and OS X. I wouldn't be concerned at all.
