My PC fully installed Windows 10 overnight last night without my knowledge or consent.

I clicked ‘Decline’ on the Terms & Conditions page, and the PC uninstalled Windows 10 and restored Windows 7 Professional to its original state that I require for my business.

I am angered at this overreach by Microsoft.

“My PC fully installed Windows 10 overnight last night without my knowledge or consent.”

So your PC downloaded Windows 10, and installed it....while skipping past all of the human interactions that you have to engage in before it actually does anything?

I just installed it on a laptop today, and I had to click yes on the EULA, sign into my wifi, and chose a partition before it did anything, not to mention sign into my MS account!

Your PC could not have “fully installed” it. It would be the first time in PC history an entire OS downloaded and installed itself blind on a PC with no human input.

And how much of your time did they waste?
