That's interesting. If the OS upgrades to Windows 10, does it prompt you to accept a new EULA after upgrading? If so, what does it do if you don't accept the new terms? And how can they ask you to accept terms AFTER upgrading?

The comments at https://www.reddit.com/r/windows/comments/49eahx/computer_up... say that, if you decline the EULA after installing, it rollbacks to the previously installed version.

Bloody hell. And this rollback appears to be less than reliable.

Why not ask for the acceptance and then upgrade?

Do we know what data is lost when a rollback occurs?
