Here’s something I’ve been seeing since December.
It’s a prompt from Microsoft asking the user to do one of two things: upgrade now or upgrade tonight.
Here’s the latest (screencap from March 21, 2016):
Someone must have told them that they were being a little pushy with the ‘Upgrade Tonight’ thing.
Sometimes, the upgrades to Windows 10 may be involuntary. A couple of customers called recently to tell me that their Windows 7 computer was now running Windows 10 and they had not authorized the upgrade. Unfortunately, this can shut down a business when there is software that is not compatible with the new OS. See the photo below. It’s from one of the computers that had been upgraded to Windows 10 without the owners approval and the Corel software it had been running was not compatible with the new Windows 10.
The above was fixed by re-installing Corel in Windows 7 compatibility mode.
Here are a few of my Windows 10 related services for the computers recently upgraded to Windows 10:
(1) Making incompatible programs work in Window 10
(2) Backing up all data, then re-installing and re-activating Windows 7
(3) Making Windows 10 more aesthetically pleasing for customers who prefer a cleaner interface without the gyrating advertisements.
(4) Removing the annoying Microsoft Windows 10 upgrade pop-ups.
(5) Forcing the computer to decline the upgrade and stop wasting bandwith with Windows 10 related downloads
(6) Installing a Fedora Server on the network and making image backups of all computers just in case of a problem resulting from an involuntary upgrade to Windows 10
(7) Converting the computer to Linux
