Microsoft backtracks on arguable home windows 10 upgrade procedures (again)

Microsoft has backtracked at the recent flow it made to push thru greater windows 10 upgrades, wherein clicking on the cross icon to shut the 'Get windows 10' pop-up was taken into consideration as consent for the OS upgrade.

Of course, you'd assume that clicking that cross might absolutely be brushing off the pop-up, not agreeing to a scheduled upgrade (which became the case for those with their pcs set to accept advocated updates – with windows 10 being 'endorsed'), so predictably sufficient this caused quite the PR typhoon.

but, in step with a BBC document, Redmond has now modified things based totally on "patron comments" (examine: being shouted at) so users now have the danger to cancel the scheduled improve.

Microsoft instructed the Beeb: "we've got introduced every other notification that confirms the time of the scheduled upgrade and presents the client an additional opportunity for cancelling or rescheduling the improve."

definite no

it's manifestly an improvement to having a marvel upgrade fire up to your pc after dismissing a nag display screen, however as others are mentioning, there ought to be a easy dismissal wherein you may say no to windows 10 and in no way be  through the spectre of it again, in case you've firmly determined you do not need to upgrade from home windows 7 or eight.1.

it's not honestly that a lot to invite, is it?

unfortunately, Microsoft seems hell-bent on trying to cajole as many oldsters as possible into upgrading to the brand new OS, relatively understandably given the failure of windows eight before it. however if doing so loses the collective goodwill of home windows customers, regardless of whether windows 10 is visible as an excellent operating device or no longer, it will be a public relations failure.

There can be excellent reasons why human beings do not want to improve, and one of these changed into discovered the day past, with the announcement that 32-bit windows 10 is doubling up the minimum quantity of system reminiscence required to 2GB with the release of the Anniversary update this summer. that could be a large hassle for the ones jogging gadgets with 1GB of memory who've had an upgrade pushed onto them.
