If you want to use Windows, just do it. But if you had to experience what it feels like when Windows thinks it is time for an automatic-forced-reboot-update which takes 4 hours the day you have to submit a thesis, then you might know why I am not so fond of Microsoft products anymore...
By the way, later that month I learned that I had been lucky as some people ended up being stuck within the update.
- romanovcode 8y agoNever in my life I had 4h updates, not even 1h. Max I had like 10 minutes? Not even a Windows advocate, just stop telling this BS please.
- JepZ 8y agoI am sorry, but that is no BS, just pure facts. Granted the PC is not very powerful (CPU: AMD E-350), but the story is true. When the update started, I thought 'Shit that thing didn't just reboot itself. Okay here we are, that will take one hour max.'. But in fact, it took about 4 hours.

- tinus_hn 8y agoGood luck installing these build upgrades in 10 minutes! For normal people they take between 30 minutes and 2 hours.
