    Ok so what happened? Microsoft took consumers money for decades of virus-laden shitware. Botnets, anti-virus suites, ransomware, all that shit.... you bought it hook line and sinker. They profited. Now they used the money consumers gave them to hire career lawyers. World gov's said hey, what the fuck? Anti-trust, etc.. then they started fuckin.

    You will want to uninstall your Windows 10 "The Spyware of all Spywares Edition" because the only anti-virus that will work is Linux or other *nix.

    If you installed Windows 10 because of lies about being free, or DX12, your homework is:
    https://www.google.com/#q=roll...

    You have 30 days after you took the spyware upgrade to roll back or it self-deletes the backup files.

    You may or may not decide to keep any Windows at all... but you won't want any new ones. Microsoft surely should by fried for this gig, but they used consumer money to buy lawyers so you can see how they do shit. You can't buy a ticket to the Resurrection according to Tony Montana in Scarface.
