I left my computer on for 15minutes to deal with an emergency. When I returned I found Windows 10 downloading, unasked for and unwanted! I aborted the download as I intend to stay with Windows Prof 7. How can Microsoft impose this unwanted program without my consent?

Welcome aboard, Norcot.
You understand that we don't work for Microsoft, and Microsoft is not responsible for anything that we say on this forum.
Having said that, MS has decided that it is to the benefit of everyone to have a single operating system, which they will control. They really believe that.
To be fair, you have part of this already. Google and Yahoo are cloud-based software that are updated without asking the users. And they both work well.
MS made Windows 10 a recommended download, which you have agreed to accept. Yes, you can keep on refusing it. After July 29, MS will stop nagging you to upgrade.

Just a note eventhough it downloads WIndows 10 it won't upgrade it until you agree.
Last night I was working on my computer. A window popped up asking me to upgrade to windows 10, I clicked it off and went back to work. Five minutes later windows 10 started to upload. I tried to stop it several times to no avail.
I did and do not want windows 10. The install of windows 10 took over an hour and a half to install. Time I needed to be working. I feel that my computer was hacked by windows 10. I would like to take Microsoft to court for this invasion of my computer. I did not agree to have windows 10 uploaded.

Welcome aboard, packw.
If Windows 10 is now installed against your wishes, you can revert back to your previous system.
Microsoft sends out the downloads en mass. You weren't singled out for anything. There is some confusion about allowing recommended downloads without realizing that Win 10 IS a recommended download.
Now, I'm not being funny when I say this. Do you have Windows 10 installed right now? You can try it for 30 days without penalty and then go back if you want.

Okay, Folks, here's how Microsoft tricks you into upgrading to windows 10. They give you a pop-up. If you simply close the pop-up without making a choice, they upgrade to 10.

I thought it was an improvement, but that is a private opinion.
The magazine article was a , I thought, a little vague and skimped over (what I regard) as improvements.
The original critique, here.

I agree with you, Denis. But if a person doesn't want to upgrade to 10, he shouldn't be tricked into upgrading.

I have noticed that Microsoft keeps changing the update notice. What gets rid of it one day will authorize it the next.
