Microsoft has been very pushy in regards to getting devices that run the previous operating systems Windows 7 or Windows 8.x to upgrade to Windows 10.

The company has been experimenting with various prompts and installation notices so far which seem to get less user friendly with every iteration and the end of the free upgrade offer.

We have already seen prompts that ask you whether you want to upgrade right now or later with no option seemingly to say no to the offer.

We have also seen reports in the past in which users stated that upgrades were enforced on their system without them ever agreeing to it or being notified about it.

Microsoft has also been very persistent in regards to system updates that prepare previous versions of Windows for the upgrade to Windows 10 by reissuing these updates frequently.

Users who hide these updates so that they are not installed will find them listed as updates again which in turn means that they have to repeat the process of hiding it to prevent its installation on the computer.


Great! Your Windows 10 upgrade is scheduled for
