The lady is in the right... Windows 10 was forced via Windows update if Updates were set to automatic in Windows 7, it's widely reported and I'm guessing there will be more legal action now that there has been a first, kind of hope there will be to be honest. Windows 10 is not an update for Windows 7 lol, a new OS yes, but not a Windows 7 update xD

So... where's my 10k? I was smart enough to not install it, but still, where's my money? They take our jobs! 🙄

Too much compensation, MS should only cover cost of new laptop? All this does is open flood gates for more claims.

The laptop was used to run a business, the compensation is from interfering with a business due to the laptop being rendered useless by the forced installation of Windows 10, which rendered the laptop unusable.

I like windows 10 :3

OK, I'm calling my lawyer >:)

I should've let the upgrade fail on my parents' laptop :bat:

Win 10 crashed my business system. I should have thought of this. Useless operating system none the less.

Totally useless people more like. I don't understand some people who have to have the very latest and greatest yet they are stuck on a 10+ year old OS. MS just wants everybody on the same OS because old OSes will become more of a security risk as time goes by. Of course they are in it for the money but i think very kind of them to give it away for free in the first place. I have a really old laptop with a single core and 2gb of ram that my misses uses sometimes for browsing and playing FB games. I got Win 10 working on it fine. In fact it actually runs much better with 10 over Vista that was on it.

Lol why she didn't roll back? I wish I could leave there 10k$ ooh Lord... Gigabyte logitech coolermaster corsair wait me

Microsoft Support could not help her.. which is why she took Microsoft to court and won.

Regardless of what runs better. Microsoft should force updates period.

"I had never heard of Windows 10." Cool story sis.

I'm not talking about right now, i'm talking about when Win 7 stops getting any support in the near future. Store/AppX stuff is all removed from win 10 if you want it to be. Win 7 is a Pita firstly because SPs and secondly over 400 KBs as you said. Bloated by KB's and a nightmare now to do a fresh install. Win 10 is a 10 minute install and it's done. You think MS hasn't learned from all those Win 7 KB's and not made sure Win 10 is already fixed? You talk as if the new OS hasn't had any lessons from previous iterations. I'm not saying Win 10 isn't more of a target because of course it is but i believe those 400+ KB's are already built into win 10 and vulnerabilities won't be anywhere near as bad as they were with 7.

My only problem is that with a new OS comes potentially broken games and drivers which may or may not get fixed.

Valid concerns but unwarranted because compatibility is being implemented constantly. I play old games a lot myself and never had any issues recently. As for drivers, if you have an older system and driver support has stopped then i'm afraid you will need to upgrade those unsupported components. Even if i didn't use Win 10 and say i wanted a new mobo then i'd still make sure it was at least giving support for the newest OS first before buying it. I bought a 970A-UD3P recently because my sons mobo was an older AMD770 chipset and driver support or bios support mainly was old and has never been upgraded for Win 10. The gigabyte 970/990 boards are really old too but all of them have had recent bios updates for Win 10 support. Of course that's up to Gigabyte to do since nearly all drivers are mobo related. FC bios for this ancient chipset was released 2016/03/02 which i have to say Kudos to Gigabyte for as they must be concentrating on AM4/Intel right now.

So..this lady has no idea how to run a computer, but decides to run her business off of that computer she has no idea how to run, and successfully sues microsoft for it? Remind me never to make any program, ever.
