This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

But given Anon knew what Win 10 is and the father obviously did not, my guess is that the father clicked on the 'upgrade now!' panel Microsoft used to pester Win 7 and Win 8 users with.

Aaah, good point, I forgot they started with that spammy shit early on...

Edit: point still stands, don't beat your kids. Unless they're coming at you with murderous intent, or something, I guess...

IIRC the pop up even did scummy bullshit like continuing with the update if you closed the popup by clicking the cross in the top right of the window, you had to actually click the cancel button.

That shit is what made me start considering Linux more seriously

The post was made in 2020. I think it's likely that this was a PC that already ran Windows 10, which probably auto-updated itself as they love to do
