This is my issue with it...for my wife's laptop, we reserved Windows 10, but have been hesistant to upgrade it. Nowhere along the way did we assume it would automatically want to change from simply reserving to scheduling it as an update to run with no further input from us. She has been faithfully clicking X on every pop up from the GWX application for months, and I've been watching the web to see how the update has gone for various people compatibility wise.
I'm still not convinced I want to deal with upgrading her 6 year old laptop and the resulting fallout if some of her laptop specific drivers aren't working nicely (specifically relating to the touch sensitive menu bar and subwoofer on that particular version of the Dell XPS laptop
that you can see here), and it was only by luck that I happened to catch the pop up myself this time and see it had indeed scheduled an update. Knowing what I did from this thread, I knew to cancel the scheduled upgrade.
There's still some time to mull it over, but I'm leaning towards leaving her laptop on Windows 7. For reference, my desktop has been running Windows 10 just fine and I love it.
