Microsoft told to Pay €1100 After Forced Windows 10 Upgrade Breaks PC

Finnish Consumer Disputes Panel has asked Microsoft to pay 1,100 to a man whose PC was upgraded to Windows 10 without authorization. The report concluded that the tech giant must compensate for the cost of buying spare parts and travel expenses. Microsoft was heavily criticized after the company shipped botched Windows 10 October 2018 Update to users in October 2018. Microsoft promised that the company would be more transparent about Windows 10 issues and a bug dashboard could be launched later this year. The tech giant was sued by several customers because of its aggressive upgrade push.
