    Hi all,

    I just upgraded my old Toshiba laptop to this HP Zbook 17. I use Solidworks 2013 and it will not run under W10. Do I need to go to any heroics to prevent it from installing W10 down the road?

    Thanks!

    Hmm, I was told that Microsoft is not pushing W10 upgrades any more. Are you saying I do need to install 3rd party software to prevent an unwanted upgrade to W10?

    I think that the upgrade push is over, but the telemetrics one is not. Read the last couple of pages of the topic I linked.
