Installing win10
Mar 23, 2016 9:40PM PDT

Have found that after 3hours of the installations last bit. Looking for updates it suddenly find one updated it and the next message followed. Three items which must be uninstalled can't remember first two but third was called ECO. This is very hard to find as using the normal uninstall on Windows will not find It and doin a search in cdrive will not find it I went on net to find out. " how to remove Eco from my Samsung notebook" and find an advert for a third party installer and install this. It had instructions to search a large list of a wide range of apps and programs which did not include Eco so did a search from their site and would you believe, no result. Catch 22 ah? Back to removing 3 apps before Windows could finalising l managed the first 2 in the usual way but still stuck. I did find it by manually starting to work out a path starting with C drive/programs/programs64/Eco but not yet found how to uninstall it. I started this at 10am this morning it's now 4:30 in the morning so I am going to bed!
