luisam Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 My sister is not even nearly "hardcore" computer user, she just turns on her laptop daily to check emails, Facebook and some news. She knows practically nothing about operatng systems, Windows versions and all this "Microsoft craze" and vaguely she had the reminescence memory of having Windows 7. She was quite happy with it, never had any complaint about her computer... Two days ago, October 23, the computer went crazy, "hung up" and kept on updating about 2 hours. As a result, she got an entirely different Windows. When I had a look at the startup screen, oh, surprise: it is Windows 10! Apart of the "hang on" time while updating, apparently all resulted perfect, her laptop works without flaws, about as fast as before, but with all this strange Windows 10 stuff that looks really weird for someone who has been using Windows 7 and doesn't know anything about those "grandiouse" changes Now, my question to those who know about this: how come that almost 2 months after Microsoft finalized its infamous campaign, her Windows was updated just like that?

dac Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Anyone on a set amount of data per month, would use it all up just on windows 10 updates as big and as fast as they send them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why, try itself, what happens. After all, if a person wants to use something, then it must also be know, how to use. If Windows usage is so difficult, must use something else. Nobody can't jump over own shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
