| I personally agree, but that doesn't mean one who chooses to upgrade are doing anything bad or stupid. |

| in many cases, upgrading one's computer operating system is a good idea (due to the fact that support for an older OS gets discontinued). |

As I said, you can hide the notification so it stops appearing on start up everytime. - @DJJosh wrote:

Also be getting Windows 10 along with the latest version of Microsoft Office too. But I haven't got anything telling me to upgrade to Windows 10 but it could be since I am still on Windows Vista and my computer won't work right with being on Windows 10. But I know it will take me a while to figure out Windows 10 along with the latest edition of Microsoft Office. I was still confused looking at Windows 8 but still that is a older version of Windows I have seen. But I will have to get used to it when I do get it

Yeah your computer has to be running either on windows 7 or 8 and meet certain eligiblity requirements, in order for you to be offered the free upgrade. |

| it's a free upgrade because Microsoft wants everyone on windows 10 to get their personal, private info, it's a real pain, because it's no longer an optional update, but there is a way to switch back, although it's much better if they just left everyone alone. |

It is still an optional switch if your computer is windows 7 or 8. As I was saying before, you can hide that annoying pop up box and prevent it from sending you notifications on start up. |

| no it's not, it's an update you will get directly from Microsoft with your Automatic updates, but you can switch back to windows 7 if you don't like the windows 10 update |

No no, thats not true, you will only start recieving it in an auto update if you clicked the pop up and reserved your upgrade.  If you didn't do that, it will not send Windows 10 updates to your computer. - @TigerTankFan wrote:

You could still use Windows 7 even though the support for it has run out, just better hope you pc doesn't crash or anything  . I would say it would he safe to upgrade to Windows 10 by 2020, as I sure all the kinks and bugs in the software will have been worked out  . |

Yes, but if you didn't click the box for the free upgrade, it will not upgrade you. |
