Windows 10 will become a recommended update -

If you are not impressed with Windows 10 and decided not to move it, you've probably been able to the avoid and free upgrade offer. But soon Microsoft is taking another step to coax Windows to users 10. The update that allows the upgrade to Windows 10 will become a recommended update. Recommended updates are automatically installed if your Windows Update settings are configured to do so.
Microsoft's goal is a billion devices running Windows 10 in the next 2 years. As Windows 10 can be used on phones and tablets too, not just the PC and is given away as a free update for Windows 7 and 8 PC users, this billion "devices" figure seems quite real and achievable if you let Microsoft upgrade your device easily to the new operating system. In the PC industry, the growth of the new operating system has slowed dramatically that many users find Windows 7 has more features and more customization in addition to being more usable, more beautiful, faster and backwards compatible.

Windows 10 is still growing, even if slowly, because users interested in level regularly built new operating system. Users who like to follow the new operating system via Insider Preview builds.

Many users who have accepted the upgrade are amateurs who are interested in trying the latest OS from Microsoft.

Many users who are already in Windows 10 are the players. They upgraded because Windows 10 supports DirectX 12 3D games, and because the store has a lot of free casual games too. According to statistics published by the platform of popular Steam game, each fourth Steam user has switched to Windows 10.

The PC average user is a person who accepts everything he sees on the screen, especially if it is advertised as a free update. The average user feels no difference between a UAC prompt and offer upgrade prompt. These people can install Windows 10 and will not be able to go back to previous versions of Windows, since they do not know how.

Moreover, the majority of users seem to be satisfied with their current version of Windows. Windows 7 is the most popular operating system for now. It replaced Windows XP after a long struggle. Windows 7 will be supported for many years, and has beautiful features, a lot of customization, a nice interface, speed, ease of use and compatibility. So most users do not see any reason to move.

Soon, Microsoft will push Windows 10 to everyone as a recommended update. Many users have enabled recommended updates to be installed automatically. This means that Windows 10 will come to their PC silently and automatically. This has happened in the near past and many users were not happy to have 3 GB of Windows 10 installation files automatically downloaded without their consent and without any warning.

The good thing is that Windows 10 Setup is won 't be automatic. Will require a sort of explicit user confirmation.

What is bad but once it arrives as a recommended update, huge files can be downloaded in silence. This can affect many users who use a limited data plan for Internet.

Microsoft allows users to 31 days to return to the previous version of Windows after upgrading to Windows 10. To avoid Windows 10 and continue using Windows 8.1 / 8 or Windows 7, is a good idea to disable recommended updates in Windows update settings. Personally, I completely disabled Windows Update. I use Windows very rarely and for a limited number of tasks. Because I am not happy with the new versions of Windows XP after I switched to Linux and have been very happy since.
