Lets see. original topic,,,,forced to win10, what to watch out for? I think updates that will scrap your OS is the common theme...what really chaps my hide, is,, win10 updates that write data down to UEFI firmware level,,,,again, no internet connection=harmless windows i.e. win10 can't update if it isn't connected.,,
as always, data backups are really essential, regardless of OS
there is an underlying theme that i don't see discussed very much..hard drive partitioning format...before win10, it was NTFS-MBR, win10 is GPT..could it be possible that this win10 GPT is dodging malware whereas the win7 NTFS is getting riddled like fish in a barrel?
New PCs with win10 are GPT, seem to be no problem at all, whereas win10 on NTFS on existing units get bricked by updates ever so easily, concidence?
