Windows 10 auto updates

[alan bessey]

I have yet to commit to Windows 10 as I am watching as bugs are being fixed. No rush here.. Running Windows 7 on my desktop PC plus 8.1 on my laptop. The laptop is the issue here. I have been told that auto updating in windows 10 can not be turned off as in 7 and 8.,1. I take my laptop away in the RV and I am unable to do updates due to the poor bandwidth in the resorts and the cost per gig of running a separate connection via a cell link. So, up to now, I turn It off until, if I am lucky, I find a library close by, or a Starbucks etc to do this.

Input on this would be appreciated.

Not exactly sure what you would like input on specifically.

If it is, your concern regarding updates over costly bandwidth, then I think that Windows 10 includes a feature / function to stop it from doing this, by setting it as a "metered" connections.
Have a look here and see if it helps.

That is what I am concerned about. My HOME service is not a problem as I have never reached any kind of cap even though I do a lot of uploading and downloading with Dropbox. My concern is when I am away from a good service which is about half of the year when I am on the road. Being in full control of when and what is updated is extremely important. It would be ok if I could afford to have a large amount of GIGs available as I travel. Last year I paid 60 dollars for 3 Gigs through a Verizon hotspot. Each year we look for less expensive options. The resorts we frequent get so full that their is no way near enough band-width to do anything demanding at all. I will likely just stay with Windows 8.1 as long as I can. Thanks!!!

That definitely sounds like a plan to me.
