Win 10 Users. No more Windows F'updates!

[bplus]

There is an extortion factor too. MS is determined to suck money from you by forcing you to subscribe for Cloud services on Win 11. Your Desktop is now in the Cloud and when you exceed 5 GB storage no more email access until you subscribe for more room. I suspect this is only the start of subscription extortion.

Sorry bplus is being pretty negative, on the plus side I have more than 5 GB of QB64 files and folders

Umm... Somebody lied to you, or you misunderstood something, or something...

Your desktop is the same place it's always been with Win 11 -- on your desktop.  It's not in any cloud.

Windows 11 comes with 5GB OneDrive -- but that's also available for you win Windows 10.  If you don't use it, just uninstall it.

Windows 11 has jack shit to do with your email access, much less any storage limit on it.  My email is from @swva.net.  Many folks have email @google.com or @yahoo.com or something similar.  WTF would microsoft have anything whatsoever to do with your storage limit with it then?  

Even *IF* you're using Outlook for your email, the limits are larger than that: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/offi...fdd26dd770

If you don't have a Microsoft 365 subscription, you get 15 GB of free mailbox storage for your Outlook.com emails, contacts and calendar items. You also get 5 GB of free cloud storage for your email attachments, files and photos in OneDrive.

So where this idea of only have 5GB for email or desktop or whatnot comes from, I have no clue.

OneDrive has a free 5GB online storage for you, but that's 100% optional and you can uninstall it and kick it out the door if you want.  It's mainly really useful for syncing your desktops so they look the same on multiple devices and have the same layout.  But there's nothing in the world where you have to pay any subscription service to microsoft to run Windows 11.

Office has a yearly subscription cost of $69 per year, or $99 per year with AI support.  It ups a lot of these limits (such as OneDrive from 5GB to 1TB online storage and Outlook from 15GB to 100GB email storage...), but nothing says you have to pay for those.  If you're not paying for it in Win 10, there's nothing new to pay for in Win 11.

or something...

I bought cheap Walmart Lenovo i3 Ideapad < $400. I had mistaken the opening Home Page (I guess thats what it is called) as my DeskTop like in Windows 10. It looks and acts just like it until you start trying the file Navigator. This Home Page is stored on OneDrive and when I copied my QB64 Folder to it and then QB64PE (or vice versa its been 4 months now) I had used up the 5 GB limit or very nearly, such that Outlook the email I use for some accts that requires Edge Browser links and my old email address... that (Outlook mail) apparently was stored under OneDrive too. So when OneDrive was loaded up or nearly so I could no longer use OutLook until I either subscribed for more space (they made easy to do) or I cleared out my OneDrive storage enough to allow me access (which was a nightmare to figure out). I was pissed and stymied for months because I didn't have time to figure out what the hell was going on. All I know is the opening screen in Windows 11 is NOT my DeskTop like it is in Windows 10. That denied access linked over to my old Windows 10 laptop as well until I finally frick'n figured out how to clear out the OneDrive apparently shared by both computers. 

Believe it or NOT!
