14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has already confirmed that it wants to make Windows 10 a recommended upgrade starting early 2016, but until this time comes, the company is becoming a little more aggressive in an attempt to convince more people to get the new OS.
Last week, we reported to you that the software giant silently updated the Get Windows 10 app with new options, now displaying upgrade notifications that no longer provide a reject option and forcing users either to install Windows 10 on the spot or download the necessary files and install later.
But it turns out that there’s more. A post on reddit reveals a new change in the Get Windows 10 app that displays different options that push for the upgrade even further.
As you can see for yourselves, users provided with this notification can either upgrade immediately or upgrade the next night, but again, there is no option to refuse the Windows 10 install or at least to delay it.
“Hidden” options to delay the upgrade
Clicking the X close button is indeed a way to postpone a decision, but there’s no doubt that without a clear way to do it and getting just two different options, both of which lead to installing Windows 10, more people could actually make the switch to the new OS.
Microsoft hasn’t yet announced any changes to the Get Windows 10 app, but starting early next year, the upgrade will become a recommended download in Windows Update. Users will still have to give their consent to start installing Windows 10, but simply making it recommended download will boost the chances of people migrating to the new OS.
For the moment, the best method to stay away from Windows 10 is to look carefully into every single option that you’re provided with, so you can thus reduce the chances to end up running the new OS on your system.
