I didn't actually get upgraded. I got annoyed when Windows Update
appeared to be stuck with this. So googled it.
First, Microsoft sneaked it in a couple months ago as an optional
item with the name Update for Windows 7 and a kb number. This installs
the gwx aoolet which waits for you to press that button on the update
page. Until you do, you cannot check for other updates.
Here is a link to what I found today about what is expected next year.

Maybe by that time I will wean myself off Windows completely and
uninstall Bootcamp.

Hello E.T.,
I am so sorry you experienced that. It must have been extremely frustrating.
All I can say is that no one with whom I interact, locally, has been forced to
upgrade to Windows 10.
While I am a huge fan of Windows 10, generally speaking, I recommend upgrading
only to those running Windows 8.x.
I strongly suspect, and this is only a supposition on my part, that you had
some kind of nefarious app forcing you to upgrade.
That is to say, a colleague of a friend of mine in Texas, experienced a similar
phenomenon; as it turned out, her copy of Windows had been compromised. I do
not know if she was running Windows on a Boot Camp partition or not but I do
recall that the problem did not stem from the native Windows OS.
Can you imagine how the world would react were Microsoft to force people to
upgrade?

Let me put it like this. While that is probably true, Microsoft infected
my Windows installation on the Mac by trying to get me to let them put Windows
10 on it. I could not in any way get past it and could not get other Windows
updates. I do not know what their game is, why they cannot let people decide.

Some of you may have put Windows 10 on your Macs under Bootcamp. I am
curious if there were major issues going from Windows 7.
I am asking because Microsoft is going to make this happen one way or
another next year, with or without your consent. They already started the first
stage last month pushing this upgrade via Windows Update.
How is Bootcamp handling this?
