Microsoft Marketing Chief Chris Capossela joined the Windows Weekly team this week for a questions and answers session covering HoloLens, Windows 10, Surface 4 and other Microsoft related questions.

One question touched Microsoft's upgrade push on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 systems, and the fact that the company's methods to get users to upgrade to Windows 10 have become more aggressive.

Users reported for instance that Microsoft changed the upgrade notification prompt by removing the option to opt-out of the upgrade. The company seems to A-B test various options but all have in common that users are left without an option to opt-out.

While it is possible to close the upgrade prompt using the x-icon of the window, it is very likely that less experienced users won't know about that option.

You owe me $425 (US) for W10 smashing one of my test systems; W10-hardware incompatibility.

W10 was forced on me without my consent.

Thanks, M$.

You're the best...

Well Microsoft, should understand that forcing may take only worse than the usual thinking, Windows 10 isn't yet a practical for majority of users due to many issues even though hardware partners are incorporated to be compatible.

Better yet continue to improve more on Windows 10 so that not only newer hardware systems will be supported but other types that does not have a budget to upgrade the components.
