  Microsoft pushes Windows 10 upgrade to PCs without user consent
Time: 07:16 EST/12:16 GMT | News Source: ComputerWorld | Posted By: Erick Cordero

Confirms it has been silently downloading massive upgrade to Windows machines via automatic updates, chewing up bandwidth and storage space

Microsoft today confirmed it has been pre-loading the Windows 10 installation bits onto devices whose owners have not "reserved" a copy or expressed interest in the new OS. The move has upset some users of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, who have complained that the unsolicited downloads have caused them to exceed their Internet providers' data caps or seized storage space without their consent.
