      I used the control panel to remove the program initially but I can’t completely remove it from my computer. Thanks

      Windows 10 is the worst windows yet devised. Why does everything have to be done by icons? Do you think we can’t read? Or does it amuse you to think we have to learn an entire new language based on little pictures? It’s absolute nonsense.

      Please REMOVE WINDOWS 10 from MY operating system, Windows 7 that worked much simpler!!!! I can’t find anything without jUMPING through way to many hoops and it seems Windows 10 is asking way to many private Questions + The mayor of my City is a personal Friend of mine and if this is not a simple and PRIVATE Removal HE will KNOW not to back Windows 10
