If you’ve installed updates from Windows Update (as the GWX updates aren’t available on WSUS) on Windows 7 Pro or Windows 8 Pro machines at any point, and those machines were joined to an Active Directory domain, you wouldn’t have seen GWX until recently, when this was enabled for domain-joined devices in the US. That change was discussed here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/windowsitpro/archive/2016/01/13/making-it-easier-for-small-businesses-to-upgrade-to-windows-10.aspx You wouldn’t see this on Windows 7 Enterprise or Windows 8.1 Enterprise PCs, because they aren’t upgradable via Windows Update. So if you have machines that may have installed updates from WU, are running Windows 7 Pro or Windows 8.1 Pro, you may want to make sure that the DisableGWX registry key is set, as indicated in the link below (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3080351).
