Windows 10 will now automatically download and install on PCs.
Microsoft suggested they’d be pushing the Windows 10 upgrades on to customer’s computers this year.
From February 8th, Windown Update will amend the upgrade to the operating system’s tenth version.
This means, if your Windows Update settings automatically install recommended items (the default setting) you should probably expect Windows 10 to make itself at home on your machine.

Even if your device is set to update manually via a user decision, Windows 10 still may get downloaded when Windows Update selects it as desired.
Microsoft assures users a warning will flash up on screen which requires users to confirm the OS switch, but only when the files have been downloaded.
If you’re not a huge fan of Windows 10, Microsoft say you can revert to your old faithful OS within 30 days.
The change will not impact business customers
