Not sure why, but my Windows 7 machine hasn't gotten a single message regarding Windows 10 ever. I think I bought my OS disk from Fry's 1-2 years ago, so maybe that's why? Not sure.
Don't get me wrong, I am thankful to be spared this spam lol
I've been told that you don't get the notifications if your specs are below a certain threshold. I don't have access to a weak enough computer to test, so this may be crap.
Then again, if this is a machine you game on, it's probably better than the threshold, so maybe I just wasted your time.
I'm not sure that'll be the case; the minimum requirements for Windows 10 is lower than Windows 7, and the same as Windows 8.1, so theoretically you can't be running 7 or 8 and not meet the requirements, as such.
You could possibly have some kind of obscure driver or device that is preventing the upgrade, though, as it only pushes it if it knows there are good drivers available for you.
In any event, I like Windows 10, but it is unfortunate their strategy is this aggressive. People ultimate have a right to choose what software runs on
their hardware. You can roll back easily enough but that's not the point, it's a pain in the ass to have to do that at all.
