Microsoft pays out $14,300 over unwanted Windows upgradeBloomberg Windows 10 was released as a free upgrade in July 2015. Microsoft has been ordered to pay a woman US$10,000 (NZ$14,300) for forcing an unwanted Windows 10 upgrade onto her computer. Microsoft has been criticised for using malware-style techniques to force users to upgrade, with deceptive pop-ups the most complained about. Teri Goldstein from Seattle won the case because she did not authorise the failed update which made her computer unusable. "I had never heard of Windows 10," she said, according to the Seattle Times.
