Trouble Uninstalling Norton in windows 10.

I need to Uninstall Norton and Symantic software prior to 2006 before Windows 10 Upgrade will complete. I can not find Symantic or Norton to begin with on my program list or in my computer to begin with???

 

Windows 10 and Norton

Hi Mike,

Sorry! The latest version of Norton Security 22.5.2 is compatible with Windows 10. I would suggest installing the latest version of Norton Security using the steps here:
www.norton.com/install. Sorry, I am not sure of the best way to restore the OS to the previous version. You can try the steps mentioned here: Redirecting.

Thanks!
