My understanding is that Microsoft began offering to let users upgrade long before Windows 10 was available, and when it became available users could either ask to install it at their earliest convenience or Microsoft would automatically do it at some point in the future (for you, I guess it is now). For what it's worth, I upgraded from 7 to 10 back in August and haven't had many problems. The only thing that bothers me is that Microsoft has completely automated Windows Updates--it's nearly impossible for the user to take over the process and choose when to check for and install updates. This is frustrating because Windows can check for updates whenever it wants now, which can make your computer slow while it does so. It may not be an issue for most, but it's an annoyance for me. That aside, most of my programs work just fine on Windows 10. I use Norton and it has had no problems.</blockquote>
