Will Windows 10 automatically be installed?

I have an Acer laptop (model is not important) and up until about 2pm EST, was running Windows 8.1. Now, without my permission, Windows 10 is being pushed onto said laptop and I am NOT happy. I had intentions of keeping Windows 10 off that PC for personal
reasons. My brother currently uses that PC and this whole ordeal is taking up valuable time he needs to get work done.

Congratulations Microsoft, you've stooped to a whole new level of low in your existence. I will be sure to remove the standard HDD and install an SSD w/ Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on there.

John,

I too would like an explanation. But at the same time, people in **** want ice water... neither is going to (likely) happen.

 

Hello big10,

In Windows 10 Home, it would be all of them. *Sad

Otherwise, you could use this below in the Windows 10 Pro an Enterprise editions.

Sad about this too *Sad hoping be more options on this in future like 8.1.

 

Actually, there are more types than that.

There are Critical, Moderate, and Low. These are for security updates.

Then there are Important, Recommended and Optional. These are non-security related updates, such as compatibility fixes, new features, or performance improvements.

 

Yes, do not have these options in Windows 10, picking and choosing optional if any.

 

Yes, my SSD has only 250 gb, it is likely that the space in drive C will be eaten up by the updates.

In Windows 8.1, I choose only Important updates.

 

Doubtfully, updates are not too large, use disk cleanup afterwards. Can also buy bigger SSD have decreased in price.

 

Windows 10 is designed to work on 32GB tablets. 250GB is more than plenty. Updates may temporarily take space while they are being installed, but they get cleaned up afterwards.

 

May be I am worrying too much. I have noticed there are lots of Recommended an Optional updates in Windows 8.1.

 

I have a Samsung 250GB on my system too. Use a second drive if you are.

 

Those updates replace files already on your computer. So they don't take much more space.
