Not a review as yet, so please ignore the (required) rating, but one thing I would need to know before trying this out: exactly WHAT does it auto-update and WHEN, and can you configure settings to control that ? Some MS updates for W7 or W8 — which keep getting re-released and returning to your update queue, *even if you hide them* — sneakily try to “upgrade” your OS to W10, whether you wanted that or not. (One way to block that is with GWX Control Panel.) Some other MS updates have trashed a few of my computers on various occasions, rendering them unbootable and requiring a complete restore from earlier backup images I had made — and this is **not** a rare or isolated occurrence either, if you bother to research it online. When that happens, it tends to be a major pain in the rear. So, I have naturally become quite wary of anything that wants to do auto-updates.
