I do have Windows 10, and I was forced.  It was upgraded while I had the computer on for something else without any confirmation from me.  Changing the meaning ofthe "x" to "agree" is done to trick people that have come to expect that "x" means to close the update.  I got tricked by that and my computer updated randomly during the day.  It hasn't seem to break anything, but I do not appreciate how I was forced to uprade or tricked into upgrading.  

I am sorry to hear that, however thats not forced, thats just a mistake on your part. Forced is when you dont have a choice, if you clicked the wrong option then thats clearly your error. (If i read what you wront correctly)

I know what you mean by the [X] to confirm, thats the system there using now.

All OS's will have problems on launch, iv never had an OS that doesnt have any issues, the best thing about this situation is that MS is giving you the update for free and the benefits out weight the negatives by a fair mile. Win10 is futuring proofing your PC, i only use mine solely for gaming and media so from that perpective its the best thing you can do to your PC and its free.

That's a crappy argument. You can say that for any OS upgrade. The point is: why is this a thing to begin with? Once someone says no, that's it. Never bother them again. Never put it in the update section. And never do any form of popup taskbar spam. It's the same nonsense with MS Silverlight. You say no. But only for that version. Once a new one comes up. It shows up again, in the list. And when was clicking X, the same as accept. You'd bitch if it was a 3rd party program that installed weatherbug, by you clicking X. 

I don't care about the problems of the OS. Or the benefits. I don't care about their store or DX12. I just want to keep Windows 7. I use my PC for everything. Including work. But thanks to these sneaky tactics. I had to disable updates. And have to perodically check on news articles, to avoid this crap. Then, manually update what's important, since Febuary. Doing stuff. That I shouldn't be doing. This is just as anoying as Sprint spaming text messages in getting a iPhone 6. You can't block them.
