My laptop is usually on 24/7 as my server/media player/smart TV. And get home from work today to discover that windows 10 is 86% I installed.

Now I have installed win 10 on this machine before, didn't like it went back and have since formatted and reinstalled 7 from scratch.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Im pretty sure when windows 10 came out, i loaded it on my laptop and virtualbox didn't work. It wasn't microsoft's fault. They just didnt have a version of virtualbox that coped with all the I/O devices properly at that time. So after a couple of weeks of trying to get virtualbox to work, i decided things were actually better with 8.1. So I decided to roll back the upgrade. 


Didn't work. It only allowed be 14 days to roll back at the time. Have they increased this to 30 now. I guess thats a good thing. 


I ended up staying on windows 10 on that particular laptop because I was so busy with life and other things, and now virtualbox have bought out a newer version and it works fine with a windows 10 host. 


But yes, even if the upgrade got reserved at some stage, it should still "ask" if you wish to install. A guy I work with had windows 10 upgrade on his laptop and it went super slow, and now loads of his older software doesnt work. 



There's another thread around, basically Microsoft is always right, just let Microsoft do what it wants, and don't bother arguing coz it's a waste of time. And they have created a robot to tell you that.
