Microsoft paid $10.000 to a woman who was forced to install Windows 10

The Microsoft company forced a lot of people to install Windows 10, and even made some automatic installations of the operating system for PCs, but in one of these cases it met a resistance that cost it much more than it would have desired after the initiation of this campaign to populate the world with Windows 10.

According to a newspaper from Seattle, the city of residence of Microsoft, the owner of a travel agency is going to receive 10.000 dollars from the American company after Windows 10 was automatically installed on her computer, the practice being a common one for Microsoft during 2016.

The woman stated that Windows 10 installed itself on her work computer, and the biggest problem is that it refused to work after the upgrade, so she sued Microsoft, asking for compensation for the problems created by it unauthorized installation of the operating system.

Winning the lawsuit, the woman will receive 10.000 dollars as compensation from Microsoft, and this because somewhere within the company the decision was made not to appeal against the court's decision, to pay the respective amount to the woman who was affected by this automatic update , so things will work out positively for her.

A few days after Microsoft released Windows 10 to the public last year, Teri Goldstein's computer started trying to download and install the new operating system. The update, which she says she didn't authorize, failed. Instead, the computer she uses to run her Sausalito, Calif., travel-agency business slowed to a crawl. It would crash, she says, and be unusable for days at a time.

The interesting part of this problem is that a lot of people complained about Windows 10 installing itself on users' computers, and if other people decide to take similar actions against Microsoft, then the amounts paid in the end will be much higher than the one now.
