Windows 10 automatically got upgraded/installed. What would you do if you are forced to install windows 10 without notice

My windows 8 got suddenly restarted with multiple unsaved documents closed. It was a disaster

After a long time restarting again and again, windows 10 popped up a window to let me decide whether to agree or decline the new agreement and embrace the new world. If I click decline, I will lose %@&$*Q^*W((..... etc .

So I googled around and
found this answer here:

Basically you decline their terms & conditions and you'll get restored.

Bowtie alignment: how to set -k to infinity

Unlike -m, -k has a default to be 1. To set -k to infinity, you should use -a instead

--strata has no effect unless combined with -m, -a, or -k N where N > 1

This bowtie indicates that your used --strata without specifying -m

By default, -m is infinite, allowing infinite numbers of alignments per read if exist
However, --strata is a strategy which only works when -m is specified.
So you either remove --strata, or specify an -m, like 10000
