Sounds like Darren owes me $5
First I've heard of this bet.

Might sound a bit simplistic, but isn't it necessary to actually click "Accept" for the EULA in order to initiate a Win 10 upgrade? No accept EULA, no install.
Or am I wrong?

How convenient.
Seriously, I like Win10 but this forcing is pure nonsense. It's actually counter productive.

Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Personalization and set the NoLockscreen DWORD to 0x1.
If you have WinLogon to wait for Ctrl Alt Del before showing Windows List, you wont get a user list anyway first. Whether you use Windows 7, Windows XP or Windows 10.
Quite frankly, I think that putting people down or bitching about what OS other people choose to use is childish and not what this forum should be for. Every one is entitled to their own opinion remember
Sorry to quote an old post but I felt this should be pointed out.

Absolutely, thanks for pointing that out.
The hostility around here can be overwhelming, it's very unfortunate. 95% of what's discussed on this forum doesn't go beyond the scope of A+ -- you know, that certification that your 18 yr old, pimple faced Geek Squad tech earned to get his job. It's the stuff someone new, or a beginner in IT should know, yet everyone's smarter, knows-it-all, and if you slightly deviate from the echo chamber of the 8-10 people that actually use Computer Forum, you're attacked/berated/insulted. It's sad and depressing.
Here's the good news. Fresh faces and quality users like yourself can make a difference, maybe improve the culture around here. I'd encourage you to stick around and bear with us. The attrition rate for new members is rather high around here, I'm glad you haven't given up on us yet.

I hope so
That's not really the discussion here, we are talking about how Microsoft is forcing the update. Like one day you turn on your computer and it updates without you accepting anything... I don't think you'd like that.

Am I the only person who checks the updates I am installing (cant now but used to)?
You can just remove the GWX.exe update iirc.

In any case, this is going to be a non-issue in a few months. Microsoft is only offering Windows 10 as a free upgrade until July. After that, people will have to pay.
