Maybe you’ve been ignoring that little prompt in the corner of your desktop reminding you to book your Windows 10 upgrade. Turns out Microsoft may be pushing the install files onto your system anyway. . A Microsoft spokesperson told the Inquirer that the company downloads files onto devices in case users decide to upgrade.Microsoft says it prepares systems for installation as a courtesy but Microsoft should be a bit more transparent about what it’s doing. , why not do the right thing and notify them that the download is about to begin and give them the chance to postpone it?
Microsoft will finally be bringing Windows 10 to older handsets after several months of delay. Windows 10 Mobile, the mobile version of Microsoft's newest operating system, is starting to become available to over a dozen phones. Though the update will come as welcome news to those who may still have a phone with Windows Phone 8.1, its not all good news: not all older Windows Phone devices are supported. Microsoft said, "As Windows 10 delivers significant new innovations, many older devices are not able to successfully upgrade without an impact on the customer experience many older devices are not able to successfully upgrade without an impact on the customer experience."
Still running ye'olde Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 on your PC? Well, Microsoft wants to change that. It will tolerate your disobedience, but it will gently nudge you into installing Windows 10 — and by gently, we mean tirelessly and constantly. On Thursday, the company announced a number of changes to the way upgrading to Windows 10 works. Furthermore, Windows 10 will "soon" become an "Optional Update" in Windows Update for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users. Finally, Microsoft is making some changes for users running non-Genuine (pirated) versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
Microsoft might be making one final push to scare you into upgrading to Windows 10 while it’s still free, but there’s a silver lining to that annoying cloud. Yes, come July 29th, even though a steep $119 price increase is on the cards, Microsoft has said that they will discontinue all that bothersome “Get Windows 10” business that keeps popping up on your Windows 7 or 8.1 machine. WinBeta’s Zac Bowden was curious what would happen once the free upgrade program came to an end, so he contacted Microsoft for clarification. According to Geek.com, Microsoft responded by saying the "nagware" “will be disabled and eventually removed from PCs worldwide.”
The next generation of Windows is here: Microsoft officially released Windows 10 on Wednesday, making the new operating system available to download as a free upgrade for Windows 7 and 8 users. Windows 10, which Microsoft first previewed in late September, is a sort of hybrid platform: Executives say it combines the "familiarity" of classic Windows with the tablet-optimized features of 2012's Windows 8. Microsoft is hoping the addition of some old-school Windows features will help convince users to switch to Windows 10 -- and for the first time, the company is offering the new Windows as a free upgrade through the first year after its release, as the company announced in January.
Microsoft is going to great lengths to get users to upgrade to Windows 10. Their latest is giving away free laptops. The promotion works by going into a Microsoft store and letting one of the company's techs handle the upgrade process. Customers with computers running Microsoft 8 and which meet certian hardware requirments can drop it off their machines by noon and if the upgrade to Windows 10 i snot finished by the end of the day.by the end of the business day, customers will receive a free Dell’s Inspiron 15, worth $250.

Microsoft’s pushy Windows 10 upgrade tactics have finally come back to haunt them. Travel agency owner Teri Goldstein swears up and down that she didn’t want the upgrade and never asked for it, either. She told the Seattle Times she had never heard of Windows 10— not until she found it installed on her system and it started crashing on a regular basis. That’s not the sort of thing you need happening to a computer that you use to run your small business.
