But WILL I get Windows 10, forced down my throat? That would be as bad as getting Malware on it. :-(
NO.
Microsoft was forcing Win10 on people during the year it was "free". But now they make you pay for it. So they're not automatically downloading it for you and installing it for you. As far as I know.
On the other hand, they ARE trying to get you to switch to it. So beware any "offers" to try it out.
