Microsoft may be downloading Windows 10 to your computer without your consent.
#12
From the link provided in the first post of this topic: "The download appears to be coming to users on Windows 7 and 8 who have opted to receive updates from Microsoft, a setting that needs to be active for critical security patches to come through.

Addressing the reports, the computing giant said that the files are downloading to help users prepare for the OS switch "if they decide to upgrade".

The firm said in a statement: "For individuals who have chosen to receive automatic updates through Windows Update, we help upgradable devices get ready for Windows 10 by downloading the files they'll need if they decide to upgrade.

"When the upgrade is ready, the customer will be prompted to install Windows 10 on the device.""

According to that if you have automatic updates on it will download the installation files to your computer.
