A curious Thing About Windows Ten, if True

[mr__ed]

Don't know if this is true, but a guy I met today told me he had 3 computers, all running Windows 10. He said that if he didn't use one of them for about a month's time, it would automatically revert back to Windows 8 or 8.1. Is that the case? Doesn't matter to me; I use my computer every day. Still, I find that interesting.

I will 8.x is no longer supported by Micky-Soft so no way will they allow auto-downgrade.

Now..... If his computer has a back up partition that's still 8.1 and something in the main partition crashes it and it somehow auto-reverts to back up .. Well.

But I'm not aware of any "Auto revert to back up" feature either.. Just manual recovery commands.

Dw and I were standing here talking and tv turned on by itself. My phone and a friends phone have dialed others without touching them. I wouldn't say it's impossible.

The way it's started makes no sense
However If he has both installed on the pc and dual boot option
It might default to the original 8.1 under certain conditions like booting up with a low system bios battery, or a timer reset

But this would be very unusual circumstances

It can't be true, it's not on the internet. 😉

How is it going to download Windows 8, uninstall Windows 10 and then install Windows 8 if shut down and not running :H

I have had mine down for almost 6 months. Booted up Win 10 just the way I left it. Yes it is a update from 8.1.
