Microsoft will be less aggressive in trying to convince users to upgrade to Windows 10, the company promises. The last couple of months more and more users complained about the aggressive methods used by the Redmond technology giant to make users switch to its latest operating system.
Earlier this week we already reported how a woman in Seattle in the United States sued Microsoft and received $10,000 in damages when her computer downloaded Windows 10 without her consent.
Microsoft will roll-out several changes to its update process the coming week. Users will now receive the option to schedule or an update or not update at all in the initial update popup. Also clicking away the popup will become more user friendly. Previously clicking away the popup would still result in automatically downloading Windows 10.
Meanwhile, the OS will be free for about another month for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. If they don't upgrade to Windows 10 before the 29th of July this year they will have to pay $119 for an update, in case they decide they want to.
