Such as we mentioned yesterday, some users of Windows 7 were forced to upgrade to Windows 10 as Windows Update gave them no choice but to reboot computer to start the installation.
So today the company with a statement released by Ars, confirms all the above mentioning that it was just a mistake.
What was the "mistake"?
Basically, the optional upgrade to Windows 10 was made mandatory by default, which meant that Windows 7 was downloaded and installed on computers automatically.
The company said that this all happened completely by accident and that it has already removed them settings of these parameters giving users the option to install or not install Windows 10.
"As part of our effort to install Windows 10 on existing ones Appliances με αυθεντικά Windows 7 και Windows 8.1, η αναβάθμιση σε Windows 10 μπορεί να εμφανιστεί σαν μια προαιρετική ενημερωμένη έκδοση στον πίνακα ελέγχου του Windows Update (WU). Στην πρόσφατη ενημερωμένη έκδοση των Windows, η επιλογή αυτή δεν υπήρχε από προεπιλογή. Ήταν ένα λάθος το οποίο διορθώθηκε”
says the company.
Of course, it is very hard to believe that it was just a mistake. Especially when we know that the company is aiming to install X Windums 10 on one billion devices up to 2017.
