To be fair, I wouldnā€™t have a nice day if someone decided to install a significant update/upgrade/fork of an OS on the family machine without prior notice, eitherā€¦

Nowhere near corporal punishment levels, but most certainly ā€œclean uninstall your programs dailyā€ levels. Would still make a backup of any saved games/projects, Iā€™m not a monsterā€¦

But given Anon knew what Win 10 is and the father obviously did not, my guess is that the father clicked on the ā€˜upgrade now!ā€™ panel Microsoft used to pester Win 7 and Win 8 users with.

IIRC the pop up even did scummy bullshit like continuing with the update if you closed the popup by clicking the cross in the top right of the window, you had to actually click the cancel button.

The post was made in 2020. I think itā€™s likely that this was a PC that already ran Windows 10, which probably auto-updated itself as they love to do
