> Maybe MSFT is the origin, pushing folks to go to W10.Just a thought.

I doubt it. They have more subtle and effective ways of encouraging Win7 users to migrate to Win10.

My "tin-foil hat" reference was just a joke. Actually, I read that thought in a user comment to that effect on the page I got this article from, and laughed, so I decided to throw it in here.

My son tweaked my W7 for me so that I don’t get the W10 nags and I can still get any updates that come along. I think my Malwarebytes might have caught the wannacry. It froze up my computer a couple of days before that came out and put a note on the screen to shut it down after doing a particular procedure that shut down background stuff I wasn’t even aware was running then said for me to leave it off until 0600, about 7 hours later. I did it like that and it is running a lot faster since. I really don’t know what that was all about and am just guessing because of the timing.
