Looks like Microsoft is forcing/tricking people to download Win 10. What do you think?

I say you give to the peer-pressure and get windows 10 wile it is free then go back to what you like and hide that update for win 10 so it does not show?

you can try this (  GWX Control panel ), it can do a few things , like disable win 10 notifications , I haven't used yet , Because I have not made up mind yet weather to update or not...It has standalone program or installer..

Easily dealt with by changing Windows Update settings so one chooses which updates are downloaded.

I haven't liked the way that Microsoft has pushed Win 10 and certainly would not want a "surprise upgrade"!

I just gave in and I'm running Windows 10 now.  I don't have any issues.  As long as my COD works, I'm good :-)

From 8.1? Of course you would love it. So would I. But you will only take 7 from me kicking and screaming. When it aint broke dont force fixes on me. :lol:

 

Anyways, even with manual updating must be sure about what is what. Last time around they changed the particular update from 'optional' to 'recommended' so as to get past people that never install the optional stuff. Soon it will be upgraded to 'important'. Currently this one seems to be the most obvious update to look for but it will likely change again. If you see it, uncheck it in WU and set it to 'hidden' so it wont show up again.

windows 7 will be supported until april of 2020, so you are just fine ;)

 

I have used that GWX control panel... it works good

 

many of my business clients don't want (and probably shouldn't) to upgrade to 10, so I just hit them with GWX and the nag goes away
