Windows 10

That's not what the Updates Pending icon on the Shutdown button usually implies ... it usually means that updates will be installed, and then finalised on next boot up. So if you Reboot I'd agree with your comment (Updates Pending don't usually show, for me, on the Reboot option) ... if you Shutdown and then power back up then I'm not so sure.

I was wondering why MS should suddenly decide to offer Windows as FREEBIE to all and sundry - after years of charging around £100 per installation ?
Are there ulterior motives or are they just being "nice" ?
When you think about the potential costs/losses to MS, I am unsure ....
