What programs use Java? I've just updated to Windows 10 and wonder what I'd lose by uninstalling it
I got my Dell Inspiron computer in 2011 and it has been updated from Windows XP to 7 and now to 10. I suspect I even copied over everything from an earlier computer in 2007, and I now have accumulated fragments of all sorts of programs which state they were installed in 2011 but were actually from my old computer. Although I believe many of them are useless, I don't know which ones to delete, in case I do damage.
I know it's possible to use a clean-up programmed like cCleaner, but I need to know what to clean up and what to leave, so can't use it!
Actually only some specific programs you choose to install use Java. Unless you have installed a program which clearly states he is Java-based, you will not have problems.
And if you experience them, reinstalling Java can be done in a click
Thank you Alessio - I have now uninstalled Java and done a computer clean-up. As you said, if I find that I need Java, I can install the latest Java.

So I've been getting the Windows 10 pop-ups for the last several months and I've been clicking the "no thanks" button on every one. This morning, I wiggled my trackball to wake my PC from sleep mode and fracking Windows 10 had installed itself and only needed me to press the accept or...

I have been using Microsoft OS since the days of MS DOS and there was no UI. When Windows 3.1 came out I thought that was quite a unique change and it made me not have to remember all those command codes. Then Windows 95 came out and I was happy but when Windows 98 came out I was elated! I only...

What's your opinion of Windows 10?I upgraded to it using the free download then bought a new computer with Windows 10 already installed-- the personal use version, not the more expensive version for business use. I was wondering what others thought about the operating system.
