Depends..

If you don't mind MS data mining your own personal PC and using that info for their own profit AND allowing MS to use YOUR personal PC hardware and YOUR own Internet connection YOU paid for as part of their updates data sharing (AKA ZOMBIE PC) in order to deliver their own "malware" called Win10 to other unsuspecting people then it is OK..

Not to mention by accepting W10 you are agreeing to allow MS to forcefully update YOUR PC with often half baked untested updates which at any time may result in YOUR PC turning into a doorstop..

With Win10, the PC is no longer YOURS to control..

Actually it "kind of" does in a round about way..

Since WS has changed the priority from "optional" to "important" it WILL automatically DOWNLOAD the entire Win10 OS onto your PCs HD..

Then it SHOULD nag you to death until you click the box to install.. However, it IS possible that MS has omitted the nag step and is force feeding every PC they can..

Many people also fail to read everything they click BEFORE they click (I have a DD that is click happy which drives me crazy)..

One of my PC's Automatically installed Windows 10. If you don't want this to happen to you, click the start button and type "windows update" go into the settings and turn automatic updates off. If it does happen to you and you want 7 back, click the start button and then type "restore". It can be brought back to 7 but you may have to reinstall some programs.

MS wasn't "happy" with the W10 free "upgrades" acceptance so they changed how the upgrade to W10 update works from "optional" to IMPORTANT..

Before the change you would avoid it by only accepting IMPORTANT updates..

But now you must either completely disable automatic updates OR at least set it to CHECK for updates ONLY and select and READ EACH UPDATE..

Blindly accepting all automatic updates is a fool hardy thing to do in the first place..

Do like the smart folks do, disable then manually go to MS Update website and get only the IMPORTANT updates.

To MS's credit, they DID put out a bulletin alerting folks that this was changing.. So it shouldn't really be much of a surprise.

Since you clicked on something and accepted it...why not use if for awhile, poke around and learn it some. Do some tweaking to suit. I think you will like it. It's a very stable operating system.

10 does not automatically install. sorry you click agreed at some point.

To get the upgrade it had to be accepted at some point. Or at least that was the way it worked on our win 7 and win 8.1 machines.

Well, was it better or worse???
