I've always been an early adopter of hardware, OS, and FS revs. - I guess that that is the work / hobby aspect.  The one FS version that bit the most was FS2000.

Well, a new computer that replaces your old one is "another device", isn't it?

As long as there is only one copy of Windows 10 at any given time, and its not OEM.

Exactly. 

The issue,with these forced updates is that sometimes these updates break things. I remember one that broke FSX.

In the history of humankind a MS update has not broken a single thing in FSX. If it has, please provide a link because thousands of FSX users would have posted about it.

I don't remember a Windows Update breaking FSX, but I do remember this: http://www.hotforsecurity.com/blog/some-windows-7-pcs-bricked-by-microsoft-after-faulty-patch-tuesday-update-9945.html

Ya wow, one out of how many? I know you are looking for perfect software for perfect hardware in a perfect world. Good luck with that!!

Still.... This just goes to show you that ###### happens, and that you can't trust WU to be "perfect software". So why is MS forcing people on W10 to get them?

Microsoft isn't forcing me to do anything - what's it forcing you to do?

This whole thread was about how Microsoft is forcing users on Windows 10 to get updates automatically, whether they want to or not.

Microsoft never forced me to purchase FS5, FS95, FS98, FS2000 and FS2002. I made those dumb mistakes all on my own.

MS FS is a lot like Windows isn't it? They really seemed to do a good job of making every *other* version a dud.

 

FS95 (hated). FS98 (loved). Fs2000 awful (installed it the other day for grins...still only runs at 30fps). FS2002/2004 I have a tendency to lump together and thought both were great releases (they really are nearly the same sim).

 

Then (and here comes...please don't get UPSET for this...it's just an opinion) FSX. Honestly...had FSX only been out 2-4 years followed by the next version I FIRMLY believe it would reside in the "Absolute Dud" category. People still struggling with the graphic engine (just like FS2000). Only the fact that FSX is what we're all basically stuck with has made it the uber-success that it is. Again IMO only...anyone who gets offended about this really needs to relax...you can still love whatever you love.

I repeat - how is Microsoft forcing anyone to do anyting?

The solution for you, and anyone else that doesn't want the updates is to NOT switch to Win 10, problem solved.

If you're going to tell me "They're not forcing you to upgrade", that's not the point of this conversation. Can you look past that, please?

 

If you are on Windows 10, they are FORCING you to get updates. Don't tell me "unplug your internet". Think realistically, please.
