Brink, I need your expertise in guiding me on how to permanently get rid of apps/programs (or whatever the correct term might be) that might be on my laptop. The "Upgrade to Windows 10 Home" has already been hidden several days ago. I need very detailed directions on what I need to do to get rid of anything else that is related to "10", such as:
The Windows symbol located on my task bar (bottom of screen on right-hand side) that contains the "Get Windows 10" message.
The hidden "Upgrade to Windows 10 Home".
The GWX.exe services/processes from the task manager
Need to rename GWX folder in system 32 and system 64
Delete $Windows.~BT folder (and/if) $Windows.~WS folder
Delete/uninstall some KB updates that were installed that has to do with Windows 10. I know I have a few but I don't know which ones refer to Windows 10.
And anything else that I don't know about.
I have no idea where to begin for any of the above. I don't know how to find most of the items listed above. As stated I need explicit and thorough step-by-step instructions. That's why I'm asking you for your expertise and knowledge to get me through this.
Thank you, Shawn.
