For months, we’ve cataloged continued user resistance to Microsoft’s Windows 10 upgrade policies, the company’s increasing attempts to shove users to adopt the OS, and its occasional backtrack when its own policies went too far.

Her $10,000 figure reflected estimated lost compensation as well as the cost of a new system.
