Same here! I'll stick with 8.1 and I'd rather switch to Linux or MacOS
than (re-)infest my self with 10! :-) c.q. :-(

One of my "favorite" things about Windows 10 is the way it starts
installing updates whether you want them or not on a laptop that is
running on battery.

Adding Win7 to this post.
I saw your GPE template link and got curious. It's
an MSI packed with 200+ topic files, each containing
numerous topics, for a total of 3,000+ Registry settings.

The basics are in admx files, which then link to text
data in separate adml files. Both are pseudo-XML. Very
complicated. Those templates are for plugging into gpedit?

I was thinking that anyone who doesn't have Pro, or
who just want's more info, might be able to use a help
file. So I wrote some scripts to parse the "templates".
The result is a CHM file, not perfect but it's a pretty
good listing, with index and searchability, of the various
Registry settings.
See the Readme file in the download for a fuller
explanation:

The project files are included, in case anyone wants to
improve on this first version.
