​Interesting.  The hard sell doesn't seem to be happening on my son's
home-built desktop running Windows 8.1.​  Perhaps it's because I did let
the Windows 10 download happen.  I upgraded my son's PC last year from XP
by installing 8.1 clean on a new 1TB hard drive, so disk space is not an
issue.
​

​ Windows 10 was pushed to the computer months ago, and I know there was a
notification about that at the time.  I just left the image there and never
installed it.  My son uses the computer a lot more than I do, and he hasn't
mentioned a thing about being nagged to upgrade.  I use it occasionally,
and I also have not been seeing any nags.
