I agree if your system is running fine with Windows 7 there's no compelling reason to upgrade to 10 (at least until Microsoft stops issuing security updates for it), especially if your hardware is "older". Even though my upgrades to 10 have all gone fairly smoothly, there's just too many things that can go wrong in the process to make it worth the potential disruption that might occur.
However, despite what most people think, it is correct that if at some time in the past someone set their Windows Update options such that they agreed to accept both critical AND recommended updates (which is NOT the default) that when Microsoft made Windows 10 a recommended update, that prior action effectively gave them permission to push Windows 10 to the machine in question. However, the fact that if someone sued over this that Microsoft would easily win in no way excuses what they did (from a moral perspective). Don't get mad, learn the lesson and move on (turn OFF automatic installation of recommended updates and also get a copy of "Never10" and run it).
