Well .. I DON'T! Because ... they're getting there by tricking Win7 and Win8 folks into applying an Upgrade they do not want.

The Win7 forums and OEM forums are chock full of folks complaining about HOW to get rid of Win10 and go back to their older OS -- because they did what they thought was a routine update only to have their machine upgraded to Win10.

This is reprehensible conduct by MS -- and I don't care if millions of folks like Win10, this is STILL reprehensible conduct.

I'm not sure how MS is at fault, when if the user read what the update was for, it clearly states "Upgrade to Windows 10".

Brink you are correct they don't have to but some ignore that and then blame Microsoft, on every system I have put it on.
That message has always come up

200 million is an impressive number, but still doesn't come close to Windows 7.

Hahahahahaha! At least, Edwin! At least.

Seems like I've done at least 100,000 myself. :)

Some say that Microsoft tricked a lot of users into 10. But it is not their fault if many people do not pay attention.

Hmmm Brink, you know there are TONS of people that don't really watch what they're clicking. Microsoft is definitely taking advantage of that. Truth is, objectively, Windows 10 is a luke-warm success. Mobile Devices are where it's at, and Microsoft just isn't there like it should have been. I prefer Windows based PCs myself, but I say that understanding I'm in the ever increasing minority. A lot of the new user base is there because of a free upgrade, some curiosity, and for no other reason. XP was a real success. Windows 95 was a blockbuster success, and I'd say Windows 7 is top of mind for most (er, that's when Windows is still top of mind).
