Windows 7 Laptop 365
My sister gave me an old Dell Latitude E5520 64-bit. I immediately went to
programs, and noticed that Windows 365 was installed the day before. I asked her why she installed it, and she claimed that she did not install it, but just "created me an account" on the machine. As someone that has Office since around 2000, I have never had this experience. Is this something new that Microsoft has started on old Windows 7, to push 365 on people that has already paid for the full version of Office? |

She said she did not download it, but I took a picture of it in programs, which shows the date. She claimed to only create a "microsoft account for me on her old laptop". She swears she did not install it. Time to blow the whole thing back to factory specs. Thanks for your reply. |

Those with MS cloud accounts or use the business outlook servers will be pestered to install it. If one is not careful and hit the wrong button it will be installed. It is on my employer's machines because we use the Outlook servers. It is useful if you have multiple machines that need to sync data. However, I do not use it due to being out of internet range much of the time. |

You should eliminate outlook servers, the why is, because they
have all your emails on their servers. It is best to set up a client email program, then move your email off of that server, to another server that gives you full control. Then you can specific server to erase your emails once you have downloaded them into your own client. This is why, the cloud exists, as in, they want the up on you, so to use this access on the open net, against anyone they want to use it against. And, it is against your own privacy yes. But that is MS for you. They are very crooked people. As far as office, yes, they would like to push as many purchases as they can. But more so, make the dummys use what they give them. Microsoft is a pagan company. Same as freemasonry is pagan.

It is useful if you have multiple machines that need to sync data. However, I do not use it due to being out of internet range much of the time. That might be the answer, because it was her old business laptop, that probably used business outlook servers. I had the old Microsoft Exchange Server, then upgraded to 2003, then 2007. I could have set it up to access away from base, but never really had the need to do so. Last weekend, I had to manipulate a one page excel spreadsheet, and realized I couldn't print from my desktop because my printer is wireless. I tried looking for the cord, to no avail, and my laptop is on loan to my son, so I sent it to my two Microsoft 8.1 phones. It asked me if I wanted to save to the cloud or phone, and I said phone. Then it wanted to charge me $70 for another year of a product that I had never used the first year on each phone. Needless to say, I had to log in, and I have no idea what email or password I used to set it up. As a life long user and beta tester for Windows 95, I am looking to go to Linux. I don't care to pay $70 for using my own printer and software to print one sheet of paper. |

You can change the settings to not keep a copy, then use Outlook to download them to your own computer. But the default is aways for them to keep a copy. |

We have seen many on these newsgroups. We have Canadian small boys abusers, drug dealers, arms dealers, people smugglers and now your friend using 1990s style html. For god's sake we are in 2017 and things have changed. -- With over 500 million devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |
