- cesarb 9y agoIt's a question of trust. That user no longer trusts WU to not silently install Windows 10. The window might have closed, but who says it won't open again suddenly, or a WU bug won't make it think it's still inside the window?
- moonshinefe 9y agoSilently installing Win10 from Win7 at this point after the window has long closed would be a massive controversy and utterly unprecedented in the industry. Updates introducing bugs is always a possibility on any platform Windows or otherwise, so the suggestion is just to stop installing security updates? Please.
- Silhouette 9y agoSilently installing Win10 from Win7 at this point after the window has long closed would be a massive controversy and utterly unprecedented in the industry. So was pushing the original Windows 10 update from Windows 7. That didn't stop them. Once bitten, twice shy.
- Silhouette 9y agoYou can't just install security updates in Windows 7 any more. The only option via Windows Update itself is the monthly roll-up that includes everything. You have to jump through hoops or have a centrally administered system where the admin is jumping through hoops to do anything more selective, such as installing only the security updates.
