Windows 10 'tricking Microsoft users into upgrades'

The first conclusion is that Microsoft actually cares about Windows 7 users, and it wants to make installing updates easier for them.

You should then be able to cancel or reschedule the swap to Windows 10. Previously, the company had told customers to expect three major upgrades per year. But so far, the company hasn't really had its way, which means there are far more programs that can run on Windows 10 than on Windows 10 Mobile.

Dating back to the days of Vista, the system requirements recommended 1 GB of RAM for 32 bit machines but that is finally changing with the next update to Windows 10. Unfortunately, users trained to click the X to close annoying pop-up windows may overlook this small line of text.

Windows users instinctively click the red "X" button in the top-right of windows to close applications. Microsoft said at the time that the upgrade would be as a recommended update for Windows 8.1 and seven users, even though one Microsoft spokesperson said that most of the Windows update settings are set in a way that they accept all "Recommended Updates".

The modification has been dubbed a "nasty" and "deceitful new update" by Brad Chacos, PC World website senior editor. His wife, though, is now shopping for a Mac.

Mobile photography enthusiasts will be happy to know that the company now asks manufacturers to embed auto-flash on gadgets that support Windows 10 Mobile. This is particularly helpful for users who have configured more than just one account in the Mail app, so jumping from one inbox to another is no longer necessary as they can easily get all messages in just one place.

"We understand you care deeply about what happens with your device".

Microsoft is in trouble yet again for its heavy-handed approach when "encouraging" people to move to Windows 10.

Torrex Pro is preparing for the Windows 10 Anniversary Update by releasing a cross-compatibility update of its own.

Microsoft announced earlier this month that 300 million devices are running Windows 10 - a faster adoption rate than either of the two previous Windows versions. More recently, the company provided us with more details about the new update pack, digging further into reasons why it chose to release it.
