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 upgraded my win7 DAW to win10 during Christmas and am running smoothly.
but I would not want a forced update! that's insane! I hope that's not verified.
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.
Auto updates are now off. Thanks for the heads up fj.

Thank you very much for the heads up.....
I do not want 10 at this time in my career......LOL
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!
