Microsoft says Windows 10 runs 14 million computers two days after release

When users upgrade from a previous version of Windows to Windows 10, the organization charges, the new software will override their preference for Web browser.

If you are creating a bootable Windows 10 USB disk, select USB flash drive and click Next to follow the rest of the steps.

The nature of the default browser choice process with Windows 10 “takes more than twice the number of mouse clicks, scrolling through content and a few technical sophistication for people to reassert the choices they had previously made in earlier versions of Windows“, Beard said in his letter to Microsoft. If you already installed Windows 10, chances are you didn’t read the terms before agreeing to them, -don’t worry, we didn’t either-. So, if a user running Windows 7 has specified that Google Chrome is their default browser, they will find when they upgrade to Windows 10 that Microsoft Edge is now the default.

Although millions of people have successfully completed the installation, there are many more who have reserved their upgrade to Windows 10 and are still waiting to received it.

If you are now running Windows 8 Single Language, Windows 8.1 Single Language, or Windows 8 Single Language with Bing, choose Windows 10 Home Single Language as Edition. Installing Windows 10 automatically sets Edge as a user’s default browser.

That’s a far cry from the company’s goal of getting Windows 10 onto a billion devices within three years. Their recent cuts after purchasing Nokia’s smartphone business is another example of their position in the market.

The stakes are high for Microsoft as it pushes out the new operating system for both traditional computers and mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones.

Folks at Firefox web browser maker Mozilla are complaining that the fact that you have to effectively opt-out instead of opting in to the new defaults is anti-competitive. Microsoft looks to give Windows 10 small upgrades in the future that will be released via internet.

More or less, Microsoft is utilizing your Internet connection to update the PCs of others.

If so, there’s an easy way to avoid the line and download Windows 10 and upgrade straight away.
