Microsoft Sued As Windows 10 destroys Data And Damages Computers In US

American Multinational Technology Company Microsoft is in legal trouble. Three persons in the US have filed a lawsuit against Microsoft claiming that its Windows 10 update destroyed all the data stored in their computers and damaged it. This happened when the users upgraded their systems to Windows 10.

This complaint was filed in the Chicago’s US District Court, which says that Microsoft Windows 10 is a defective product and that its makers fail to provide adequate warning about the potential risks caused by the Windows 10 installation.

Windows 10 itself was installed onto a user’s computer without her consent and erased the entire data. Another victim complained that he consented to the Windows 10 update but that left his computer non-functional.

These victims complained that Microsoft failed to exercise reasonable care in designing, formulating and manufacturing the Windows 10 upgrade. Because of this, the computers were liable to cause loss of data and damage to hardware.

However, a spokesperson from Microsoft said that the Windows 10 free program was a choice designed to help people take advantage of the most secure and most productive Windows.

They also responded to the lawsuit filed in the court saying that “Customers had the option not to upgrade to Windows 10. If a customer who upgraded during the one year program needed help with the upgrade experience, we had numerous options including free customer support and 31-days to roll back to their old operating system. We believe the plaintiffs’ claims are without merit.”
