Windows 11: When no doesn’t mean no
Posted on January 10, 2022 at 02:42 CST by Susan Bradley • Comment in the ForumsWINDOWS
By Susan Bradley
It all started when I saw reports of users who hadn’t approved the installation of Windows 11 but rebooted their computers to find them doing exactly that.
These users assured me that they hadn’t approved the install. Worse, some had specifically declined the update, only to see it being offered again. I have a serious issue with Microsoft about this, because the company is not providing good information about what to expect if your PC qualifies for the Windows 11 upgrade. It’s guesswork so far; trying to determine what to expect has not been easy.
