Everyone I've talked to has had nothing but horror stories about windows 10. A guy I work with updated his laptop and now it's unusable as a result.

@nilbog thanks bud I'll check that out. Looks like it managed to restore back to 7 at least. Was scared it was gonna take a dump and tell me I'm fucked

Proud windows 7 user here.

Fortunately I was smart enough to shut down auto updates for the first time shortly after I saw the Windows 10 spam a few months ago,

Hasn't bothered me since. Do not plan to turn updates on again after seeing this nasty tactic.

A guy I know just had his laptop fried by Windows 10 upgrade.

He heard a *POP* noise, and a short bzzssss sound. Then noticed smoke came out of the laptop.

He turned it off for a bit, turned it back on. smoked, popped again, and died.

Full hardware failure. Processor literally blew up..

So much for that "Free Upgrade" wheres his free laptop?

Sounds like he ended up with a hardware upgrade in the end.
