No, but when a friend who is "good with computers" got accidentally infected by windows 10, I switched windows update to manual and only ever allowed critical security updates. I never even saw the little "install windows 10" icon on any of my PCs. After a while it broke windows update completely though, some of the security updates must have had dependencies on other updates that I refused to swallow. Now I know it's safe I'll allow the "recommended" poo poo.

This reminds me of a story.

There was a LAN party at my house and a group of us went to buy burgers and chicken, anyway it was a saturday night and there were some girls in the burger shop on their way out clubbing, and my friend was telling this story about some poo poo on his PC which climaxed in "...and I just CONTROL ALT DELETED that poo poo!" complete with the two-handed finger movements. One of the club girls turns to me, all makeup and miniskirts, gestures at my friends and says "Do you believe these guys? I thought nerds like that only existed in the movies." You see, even though the LAN party was at my house, I do not look like a nerd and because I'd walked in from having a cigarette she'd mistaken me for a normal person.

So I replied to this girl "I know, what a retard, right? He totally should have done a Control-Shift-Escape." and flashed her the finger position which is co-incidentally the same as the reverse shocker. The look of confusion on her face slowly giving way to disgust as she realised she was speaking to some turbo nerd was pretty funny.

Yes, but now they just automatically charge your credit card for the Windows 10 update. Hope that helps.

I still remember my dumb friend talking about how his dad had Windows 9 thanks to some vague BS story about combining versions. This was over 15 years ago.

That scary rear end padlocked windows logo on the corner of my screen was triggering me hard. Still expecting the sudden "wait, gotta update first" crap that ends with me suddenly having 10.

I use DOpus 9, which means the "free upgrade" to windows 10 would cost me $100 as I'd have to upgrade to DOpus 11 in order to keep not using windows.

I still can't understand the fear and loathing people have of a new version of an OS they already have. It seems p analogous to refusing to eat brussels sprouts because your mom wants you to. They're actually pretty good, just eat them already jesus

upgrading to a new OS right away is like cramming brussel sprouts into your loving mouth as fast as humanly possible, often before they've even actually been harvested

it will probably be fine and you probably won't get anti-biotic resistant e. coli, but why make fun of people who don't have brain problems that compel them to do this
