Microsoft is guerilla-setting users on the PC to automatically upgrade to Windows 10
Want to upgrade? Yes / Yes
From July 29, Microsoft will make Windows 7 / 8.1 upgrade to Windows 10 paid. In addition, from July 30, users will stop showing a message about the possibility of receiving a free update, a message that has bothered many. However, until July 29, the company has time, which Microsoft seems to have decided to use productively, encouraging users to switch to a new version of the OS.
Ways of persuasion are very different. For example, in one of the cases, the corporation quietly reactivates the KB3035583 package in Windows 7 to upgrade the OS to Windows 10. In the other, it just ... adds the installation of Windows 10 to the scheduler on users' PCs automatically without notifying the users themselves.
Of course, in this case it is possible to opt out of the update. But the problem is that to opt out of the upgrade you need to know about it, and many users can simply skip the moment after which the automatic update to Windows 10 starts. After waking up one fine morning, the user may be surprised to find out that his PC has become independent by updating at night. In the course, it seems, went heavy artillery from Microsoft.
If you planned to upgrade, then it is worth it, without waiting for July 29. It may also be that the corporation will extend the free upgrade period to Windows 10. But this may not happen. By the way, there is another version of the development of events about which rumors have been circulating for a long time. It is about providing your OS as a service. That is, the OS will be free for the user, and the company will earn on advertising. But this is only a rumor.
If you don't plan to update, check your Windows scheduler.
