Some Win7/8 users are forced to upgrade Win10 Microsoft admits to make mistakes

Computer shop news: It is well known that Microsoft's new Windows 10 operating system provides a free upgrade for genuine old users. This has caused a large number of old users to actively upgrade to the new version. The installed capacity of Windows 10 has exceeded 100 million units. However, many Windows7 and Windows8 users have recently reported that they have been forced to upgrade Windows10, and Microsoft has indicated that there has been an error.

According to the US technology news website VentureBeat, users who have been forced to upgrade Windows 10 have never chosen to upgrade to Windows 10 in the old system, or book a new version of Windows 10 in the system upgrade. It is not known how many users are currently being forced to upgrade.

Microsoft confirmed to the media that this problem exists. Microsoft said that it has put a mistake in the recent system update, whether to automatically upgrade an option for Windows 10, by default "tick", which causes some users to automatically upgrade to Windows 10. Microsoft said this is a bug in Microsoft and has fixed bugs in the old system.

Obviously, a new system upgrade option of "Optional" should not be automatically "tick", Microsoft admitted that this was an accidental mistake.

According to Microsoft's plan, Windows 7 and Windows 8 genuine users can upgrade to the new system for free for one year after the launch of Windows 10. This is the first time in the history of Microsoft that the new version of the system is provided free of charge.

Microsoft plans to install Windows 10 into one billion devices within three years. In Windows 10, Microsoft introduced the concept of universal software, a software development can run on all computers, tablets and mobile phones running Windows 10. Microsoft hopes that the richness of application software will save the weak position in the smartphone operating system market.

Microsoft recently released two high-end flagship phones based on Windows 10 system. According to reports, in December, Windows 10 mobile version will also be officially pushed to Lumia mobile phone users.

It is worth mentioning that Microsoft announced that only genuine old users can upgrade to Windows10, but some old non-genuine users said that they have successfully upgraded to Windows10 and implemented the system from piracy to genuine. ”.
