Good. Biologists had always been conservative about giving another name to an already-described species, to the point where they have seriously suggested the Megalosaurus to be called Scrotum humanum because it was the first known dinosaur bone uncovered and the discoverer’s major remark was that it looked somewhat like testicles, leading to him suggesting the Latin name.

Despite that, naming retcons due to taxonomy revisions have happened numerous times so precedent shows it’s feasible.

The Microsoft of today is more like “Yes/Later”. Yes, the secret third option “No” remains but it requires a registry edit or something (or deleting Windows of course).
