Or there's option 3, which is the reason that I've had several people give me: you don't like Windows 10, because of the spying/forced updates/etc. I've converted several of these people to linux and they've been very happy with it.
Or option 4, which is you signed up for the W10 update, but then it never materialized. So you are still on Windows 7 and there is still an icon in the tray telling you to reserve your free copy of W10.
Or option 4a, where like me you have it but for whatever reason it bluescreens with an unhelpfully generic error on first boot.
Or option 5, the update is still running and I can't turn off my computer.
Hard to know for sure, but I doubt that more than a tiny fraction of win 7 users are on it for this reason.
Didn't they port most of the telemetry to Win7?
Yes but you were not forced to install those updates.
