A current thread by PB has reminded me of a laptop frustration I experience on a semi-regular basis. 12 months ago I bought a Lenovo Ideapad 510-ISK laptop for use while working away. While I'm away I dont have the luxury of unlimited data like at home, and this absolute POS runs Windows 10 and wants to update apps on a continual basis, chewing my precious data. Dont know how many times I've run dry on data because it updated apps while I was uploading work data. Think ive disabled updates but not 100% sure (it's not a simple process for non-tech heads). I just cant trust this thing that continually wants to talk to me, update shit I don't use on the road and offer me shit I don't want.

Is there a simple operating system I can change to so it turns into a "dumb" computer and just do what its told (basic uploading of reports and photos)?

Or alternative laptops that will just do as told and nothing more?

Hey bud, I have done this at work on my laptop there. It's fairly simple and the easiest way is option one.
