Windows 7 or 8 upgrades to Windows 10 automatically.


              Windows 10 has been rolled out by Microsoft few weeks earlier and there has been many complaints that has been made from the users. Recently there has been another problem reported by many users.

               Users running Windows 7 and Windows 8 with their Windows Update enabled experienced some slow internet and also some updation during system boots. It is nothing other than #Windows 10 has been automatically downloaded and is ready to install.

                Few weeks back Windows 10 will be updated only when the user requested it and they will be served accordingly but now Microsoft is automatically trying to install Windows 10 on the user computer without their permission.

                 Windows 7 and Windows 8 users if felt some file in the name of Windows-BT then it is the installation file for the Windows 10 and it will try to install the operating system every time user boots the system.

                  Previously Windows 10 has the problems of consuming users bandwidth and now it is not only the Bandwidth but also the Storage capacity since the download file is from 3.5 to 6 Gb consuming huge space in memory.

                  Microsoft promised that they will install Windows 10 in about billions of systems but it is a different strategy for reaching goal.

                    Lets see how to check that your system already started this secret upgrading,

Open the partition that has the existing operating system installed (By default : c:/ )
Enable the Display of Hidden files
Look for the file with name $Windows.~BT.

                      If you can locate the file congrats your system already downloaded the Windows 10 installation file and to ensure that check the Internet usage. If not congrats you are not yet targeted. To disable this automatic upgradation stay tuned for next post.

P.S : The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
