That is pretty much the case for me except that my bandwidth cap is thankfully higher (even though yours is 2 Gb higher than my cousin's cap). Also in the past (one of my posts on these forums in fact) have been about bad updates that screwed up my computer temporarily. Has happened 3 times in the last 10 years. Also I don't know exactly how the updates work when you are in the middle of working on something. I would not want a forced reboot when I am in the middle of working on a project. Especially when my computer is old and not the best and sometimes crashes. Last month I was over my bandwidth from downloading a game and had to pay $50 Cdn. I am unemployed and on Provincial Disability which does not give as much as Federal so I still haven't paid that. Also everything on my computer is compatible with Windows 7 (When I went from Xp to 7 I had to update 2 things which my ex-fiance helped me with financially) and I own this Windows 7 license. I also cracks for old software that I want to run without needing the CD in all the time but from the hard drive for speed and Windows 10 would uninstall any programs cracked I heard even if not related to Microsoft. Also I don't like the loss of privacy since I do a lot of security stuff (Anti-spam and anti-scam stuff) as a hobby. I also love customizing my computer the way I want it to be .. not the way that Microsoft insists it to be. It was what intrigued me back in Windows 95 when I used to make my own start up window animations (I miss those lol). Another reason is with Microsoft's track record I tend to not trust why they want to give 10 for free unless they want people to go to it for a reason to their own benefit rather than ours. I would rather wait and see if there are any issues and bugs before jumping into an operating system that forces updates on me when they want rather than when I want.
Also I don't want to have to have a Microsoft account which is required for some features.
