Will this include forced installs of Win 10 on existing Win 7/8 PCs?
Unless I'm mistaken, the free Win10 upgrades are now over. If you didn't accept it before now, you have to buy a copy at more than $100, and certainly won't find it hidden in Windows Updates:

From Microsoft: "the Windows 10 free upgrade offer ended on July 29, 2016."
