Question

Windows 10 Update

by Dec 1, 2015 3:32AM PST

I am running Windows 10 Pro on my desktop computer. "Windows Update" repeatedly sends me a message for a "required update" which is an upgrade to "Windows 10 Pro version 1511, 10586". A "required update" message pops up on my screen at least once a day. I have configured my update settings to "notify me" and let me choose when to download and install Windows Updates. Will I eventually be forced to perform upgrade and are there any consequences if I do not?

Short answer is yes. You can delay a couple of months...

...according to what I've read from MS, but after that the update will go on. I've installed it on 2 desktops and haven't had any problems with it. It does take a bit of time to install, not as long as a new build, but even with my fast download speed and system on SSDs, it took the better part of an hour for me.

Good luck.

if you don't update, your computer may not get any more security updates until you do. It is always a risk
