Hi Adam,
In line with Vince Massi's comment, Microsoft delivered Windows 10 to any machine that had Updates set to automatic. But even if you had them set to notify you, it may not have helped. For example Update KB3035583 (sheep) presented itself, in Win 7 Professional 64 bit anyways, as something akin to a bunch of fixes for same(Wolf's clothing), but in truth (being the key word here) looking up the Update in their knowledge base told a totally different story. Nothing was said at all pertaining to fixes of any sort, but rather the KB boldly states it to be the Windows 10 Update ( Wolf). Yup. A big fat lie. I can never trust Microsoft again!
Today's Microsoft (not the company I've known and supported since Dos 1.0 so 35 years) has soiled themselves in a big way. And with the way all the newest features of the great Win 10 lead you to a Microsoft log-in account to download features from A to Z on a monthly or yearly rental basis, it's going to have retired people on a fixed income having to pay software rent til they die. Microsoft you want rent for even Freecell and Spider Solidaire!
The idea about retirement, is to work your life to retire, owning outright as much as you can, to provide for future comforts. I am sure this new creature calling themselves Microsoft would rent us our underwear if they could. On that note, if Microsoft doesn't do something to clean their pants after this one, us fixed income folk might not be the only ones throwing in the towel and heading to Linux. cheers! Allan
