How about no, fuck you.
I only have one machine with Windows 10 on it and I don't install any of the "upgrade" rollup bullshit on it. In fact, I rarely put it on the network because I don't trust MS at all.
All my other computers run either a flavor of Linux or Win 7

Selling people a product and then retroactively pulling features from it, in order to push existing users to buy an upgrade to continue to enjoy the functionality that they initially got out-of-the-box should be illegal. Actually, I'm pretty sure that it is. Not that something being illegal has ever stopped a large company before.
People like to claim that you're not "buying" Windows, so this somehow makes all of this shady conduct okay, but that's exactly what the buttons on Newegg ("Buy now"), not to mention the text on the sales receipt say.
I'll stick to using Btrfs on Linux for a file system with guaranteed data integrity. It is stable, as long as you don't use Raid 5/6 modes. Or if you are feeling adventurous, you can always give ZFS a try. I've been tempted to do this, its not hard at all; just install the packages and go. But I'm scared off by the alleged higher required system specifications to obtain good performance.

Just a way for them to force you install updates. I have months of updates left uninstalled and undownloaded on my Win 10 machine and I'm sure I'm not alone.
