What about a computer that runs a specific piece of software (say, Mach3 for CNC control) that doesn't have a win10 alternative. It only runs in windows 7 32 bit. There is no good alternative. I would prefer to make the determination that the machine will NEVER update. I just need it to remain the same until mach 3 updates or an alternative comes along.

I wasn't trying to be pedantic, but was being perhaps more terse than some may appreciate.
- oxide 10y ago>Then disconnect it from the internet this is not a solution to a problem. it's incredibly reductive and close-minded.
- eropple 10y agoMy understanding (I don't keep old OSes around so I can't test) is that Automatic Updates settings are still honored. Is this incorrect? Past that, is there a reason that system should be connected to the Internet in the first place?
