Microsoft mistakenly pushed Windows 10 upgrades to existing Windows 7/8
users through the Update process earlier this year, but next year it
will do
it on purpose.
...
"Soon" the Windows 10 Upgrade will be added to Windows 7/8's system
update
feature as an option, and at some point next year it will change from
optional to recommended. What that means for many people is that
because of
their Windows Update settings, their machine will automatically update to
Windows 10 if it hasn't already. You can still downgrade afterwards if
it's
not to your liking, but expect the push to get more aggressive going
forward.
Right then, who'll join me at Thermopylae?
I'm prepared to fight until July 27th 2016. I love Win7 and I've updated
all my machines apart from this my main workhorse. But I can go for a
free Win10 here as I will.
In the meantime I'm putting up with the broken WinUpdate messages, the
negligent drivers, the massed ranks and numbers of MS' corporate forces,
the sarky comments about Ludditeism, et al.
Vivat Win7!

P.S.
Keep your powder dry, and the backup images very regular.
