You can just use never10 of course. Its a simple toggle.
Then you still get the regular normal windows updates. I have also uninstalled the nag update and hidden it. Not that hard to do.
However on my machine which has windows 10/ classic shell on it, I wonder how one is supposed to review updates being offered. I've seen what is installed afterwards, but it seems pretty silent on the updates its quietly downloading and installing. The only time you notice is when you try to shut down and it spends ages fiddling about till it goes off.

I was wondering what happens when the anniversary update comes along next month. Is that machine going to get it and spend ages installing a new version without telling me I wonder?

Not having the optional updates selected in windows update on windows 7 64 bit pro I found is the easiest way to avoid the upgrade to windows 10 nag.

All I can tell you is that our charity office had the we are going to update your machine to windows 10 on, and a date, is this OK to the operator hit no, and went and had a cup of tea, only to find it mid way into the update when she got back. Another machine said this so they answered yes and nothing happened until everyone had forgotten and the date came and it started to update.
Myself I have now used never 10 on the two machines running 7, though since removing the windows update that cased the nags I've not seen this prompt as described. its got something also to do with that setting windows anytime upgrade as well I am told but I turned off messages ago. I now have a very long list of not critical but suggested updates I could install. it installs the critical ones without asking of course.

Are you suggesting that Microsoft will at some point forcibly upgrade people's
machines from Windows 7 or 8 to Windows 10?

I know there's a free upgrade available, but it's the user's choice whether to
accept it.

If Microsoft have stated that this will one day become a compulsory upgrade,
please point me to any reference confirming this.


Thanks,


Antony.

One thing though, nvda is going to have to support win10 by the time it
