Microsoft is upgrading you to 10 if you have automatic updates turned on.


Microsoft makes Windows 10 an automatic download

http://www.baynews9.com/content/news/baynews9/news/article.html/content/news/articles/cfn/2016/2/3/microsoft_make_windo.html




(There is chance this is a rumor. But better safe than sorry)
The major news outlets are not reporting this at the moment...

Thanks. I'm not sure about that one.

I read that Microsoft changed the status of the update to 10 from 'available' to 'recommended'. This is quite different from forcing an automatic update. However, I can't personally verify that because I am successfully running Windows 10 on all three PCs.

Another source said that Windows 10 will be downloaded, so in case you decide to install it, it is immediately ready to update. Perhaps that is what you saw?

[I have to say, if true, that's a terrible thing to do to someone with a small SSD boot drive.]

I hope they don't force it! Thanks for the heads up FJ. I didn't know this was out there at all. I just get the nag thing once in a while, but this seems a bit stronger.

I don't have to worry about that ... without an internet connection to my DAW, it doesn't know what the word "UPDATE" means. XP Pro/32 factory install with SP 2&3 installed and running like a top.

My other machines that are connected.... auto updates are and have been off. I get pop-ups from time to time asking if I'd like to DL W-10.... I click the "X".

Don't try to fix something that isn't broken.

Somewhere else, I read that Windows 7 is M$ most stable platform ever. I'm running Windows 7/64 for several years and I'd go kicking and screaming if they force me to update.

XP was very stable but 7 is rock solid.

I had thought the same thing, I didn't upgrade until Christmas.

my wife has win8 on her computer and I didn't care for it at all, so I thought I was going to stay on win7 forever. but after looking at what others have done and talke to others, I decided to do it! and I love it!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
