The offer has finally ended?!?! YES!!!!!!!!! That's great!! It's funny that Microsoft found a way to to turn a generous free offer into something millions of people are happy that they are finally no longer offering a year later. Microsoft, how did you turn a generous offer into nag and guilt?

 I've had to reset few computers this last year to Win 7, after hardware failures the owners didn't want Win 10 and got it anyway and they wanted 7 back.

The sun came out from behind the dark clouds from Microsoft, the birds are chirping and all is well in the free world again.

Maybe I run Win7 without [REMOVED] this time? Edit by Jedi: removed masked profanity.

Ahhhh, yes... I can't help but look back at all the people that were gung ho about Windows 10, when they made the announcement. I can actually say I was not one of those people. Perhaps, though, I am not the only one that knew there was going to be a huge catch when they announced it that it would be a "free" upgrade. They have everybody by the "baws" now.

If you make a flash drive install with update 1511 for windows 10 and install it, you can still use windows 7, 8 and 8.1 keys to activate 10......
If you have a laptop with 8 or 8.1 key built into the board it auto activates as well.
I despised the upgrade process, the clean install method only took 2 hours from start to finish with all updates.

So what has been snuck in on windows 7 and 8.1 through updates now that the upgrade is over? That is what I want to know.
