Windows patch enables computers to notify users when Windows 10 is available



From V3:

A recent patch for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 appears to add the ability to notify users when Windows 10 is available, in line with the firm's promise that users will be offered a free upgrade to the latest version of the operating system.

The new update, which links to Knowledge Base article KB3035583 on Microsoft's online technical support site, looks at face value to be a fairly innocuous patch aimed at computers running Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
