• New Get Windows 10 dialog – I haven’t seen it, have you?

    Posted on June 29, 2016 at 10:15 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    We’re supposed to be getting a new Get Windows 10 dialog this week:

    newgetwindows10prompt

    I haven’t seen it yet. Have you?

    Most people expect it to arrive with a new version of KB 3035583, the notorious “Get Windows 10” patch. I’m not so sure.

    My theory is that Microsoft constructs the Get Windows 10 dialog on the fly – as one of the commenters here said, it’s a lot like a polymorphic virus technique. Could MS change the dialog without changing Windows 7 or 8.1?

    I have an inquiry into Microsoft about the behavior of the “Decline free offer” option. Simply put: Does that decline all future offers, or is it just “Delay and ask again”? Mary Jo Foley on ZDNet has received clarification from MS that the “X” in the upper right corner doesn’t stop the upgrade. It merely defers asking about it for an undetermined amount of time.

    If the red-x is selected on this new dialog, it will dismiss the dialog box and we will notify the device again in a few days.

    Stay tuned.
