If you thought Microsoft was aggressive about getting you to use Windows 10, they’re about to get even more aggressive.
Starting Monday, Windows Update will start making the upgrade to version 10 of the operating system a recommended update rather than an optional one. That means if you have automatic updates turned on, you’re getting Windows 10. To make things even easier, Windows 10 will be pre-selected. Sure you’ll have to click a bunch of dialog boxes to actually install it, but Microsoft has done a lot of the hard work for you.
How nice of them.
Another thing to note is that Microsoft will allow you to revert back to your previous OS within 30 days. But lets’ face facts. Microsoft’s desire to get Windows 10 onto as many PCs as it can is really rubbing people the wrong way. They seriously need to rethink this before users say to hell with Windows.
