It’s no secret that Microsoft wants to bring Windows 10 on as many PCs as possible, and as part of this plan, the company is getting ready to turn to more aggressive tactics that would change the way the new operating system is offered to Windows 7 and 8.1 PCs.

Windows 10 is available as a free upgrade for Windows 7 and 8.1 computers, and while at first the company offered it as an optional download in Windows Update, a significant change could take place very soon.

A recent post on reddit has revealed that Windows 10 is provided as a recommended update in Windows Update, and while there’s no evidence that Microsoft has made this change on all PCs, it might be the beginning of a more aggressive strategy whose purpose is to upgrade more computers to the OS.
