    [Misc] EFI Fiery Patch to prevent the upgrade to Windows 10

    Install a patch to prevent the upgrade to Windows 10
    Dear Fiery user,
    Thank you for choosing the leading digital front end for your print operations.
    Fiery digital front ends are specially designed systems combining an operating system with Fiery software and custom electronics. As such, Fiery servers running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 will not support the Windows 10 upgrade directly on the server. Please do not install Windows 10 directly on your Fiery server.
    If the Fiery server is upgraded to Windows 10, it will not operate and the system will have to be rebuilt from original software disks or backup images.
    Microsoft announced that a Windows 10 upgrade can be performed through Windows Updates starting July 29th. A "Get Windows 10" notification may pop up on your Fiery server asking you to upgrade to Windows 10. Please dismiss the notification.
    EFI has created a Fiery patch, based on a solution from Microsoft, which disables the pop-up and prevents the Fiery server from being upgraded to Windows 10.
    You can get the patch from your Fiery supplier or download it from fiery.efi.com/disable-windows10.
    Contact your Fiery supplier for more information.
    Sincerely,
    Your Fiery team
    Note: EFI strongly recommends that you perform a full backup of the system image on a regular basis. In the event of an accidental Windows 10 update, the backup image can be used to restore the Fiery server so it will operate normally.
    To create a backup image, use the tool specific to the Fiery system:
    • For Fiery FS100 Pro servers and later, use Fiery System Restore located on DVD1 of your Fiery media kit.
    • For Fiery System 10 servers and earlier use the Fiery Clone Tool. See web page for instructions.

    Get the patch from your Fiery supplier or download it from EFI at fiery.efi.com/disable-windows10.
    Note: This announcement does not apply to Fiery XF and Fiery proServer for wide format printers. However, we recommend not to attempt an upgrade to Windows 10 for these products without reading a separate communication that will be issued within the next few weeks.

          What do you think the odds are that some genius customer will do the upgrade, and then expect us to fix it...for free, of course.

                  Sounds about right.
