Windows 10 Free Upgrade version- security risk?
Hello,
I am brand new to the forums and have been administering IT for a couple years for a small company. I was just told by a network engineer that the free upgrade version of Windows 10 is considered a security risk because the "free version requires updates, cannot disable advertising functionality and makes a concerning amount of outbound connection for no known reason."
Is this true and should I be concerned with the computers I have on the network that were free upgrades? I thought the free only applied to where the license came from, but that Windows 10 Pro was the same otherwise.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experience,
Bobby
