[Coco] OT: Upgrade to WIndows 10?

[Salvador Garcia]

The worst part is that MS forces some upgrades on you and it demands that the PC be restarted, dang to heck whatever it is you are doing. It happened to me once while I was busy and did not have time to close everything down. At the time that the message said, the PC restarted. This is a horrible practice, especially if you leave the PC unattended doing something. Regards,Salvador

LOL @ selected later but the upgrade started anyway.  I've seen that a few times now.  I just assumed it was Microsoft being Microsoft --- NO!  YOU'LL TAKE THIS UPGRADE AND LIKE IT!

Yeah, Win 10 seems to be working fine now, after the reboot, so no need to revert to 8.1.  I sure was in horrible shape before that, though.

Something I should have seen as a bad omen:  Initially, it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to Win 10 now or later, and I selected Later.  But it started the upgrade anyway!
