All one has to do, is as Phil said. Just stop automatic updates.
If your system is paging you to do the Windows 10 upgrade, here is how
to stop the pop-up.
1. Press Windows key plus r. This will open the DOS command line interface.
2. Type Cmd. This will load the DOS shell.
3. At the prompt type wusa /uninstall /kb:3035583
4. Windows will page you to confirm the removal of the Windows 10 pain
in the a$$ Kb 3035583.
5. Press Y, it takes a little bit, but you will be informed that the
update 3035583 has been removed from your system.
6. Type, exit, and reboot your system.
Afterward, remember to hide the update 3035583 from the Windows update
list. Voila, no more popup. Sometimes you still need to hide the icon
in the system tray even though it has been removed.

Pack 1, go to control panel, system, Windows update and locate the "Change
settings" link. Then change the combo box to "Check for updates but let me
choose whether to download and install them." Using Microsoft update which
is part of Windows Update on my system here and that's how I set up systems
for clients also. That way, nothing gets installed that you don't want
installed but importantly, you are aware of any available security updates.
You still want to hide that update that Steve mention previously though :-)

To prevent Microsoft downloading and installing Windows 10 on your
computer,
you need to turn off the Recommended Updates setting in Windows Update and
hide Windows 10 from the list of available recommended updates.
In Windows 7, go to Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Windows
Update. Click the Change settings link on the left.
Look for the Recommended updates entry and make sure it's unchecked. Click
OK.
In Windows 8.1 you can either follow the same steps listed above, or you
can
go through the PC Settings app. Go to Settings > Update and recovery >
Windows update and select Choose how updates get installed. Uncheck the
Recommended Updates box and click Apply.
Windows 10 will still appear as an available update, but it won't be
automatically installed now.
Finally, right-click on the Windows 10 update, and select Hide Update to
make sure you don't install it by mistake.

Hi Floyd,
I haven't heard this rumor; but I wouldn't put anything passed Microsoft
don't resort to what I'd call militant tactics; and yes, I believe
Microsoft
has been aggressive to the point where it's becoming militant. Now I don't
want anybody to get the idea that I'm against progress; I just don't like
things being shoved down everybody's throat - especially in a bad economy.
I
don't think enough time has been given to third-party developers to do a
halfway decent job rebuilding and/or revamping products so they'll work
properly on Windows 8 - let alone Windows 10. There aren't the resources to
continually have to spend countless dollars and hours keeping up with it
all. If the changes were more subtle instead of rolling out massive new
things at once, maybe there'd be a better chance that support products can
be developed or retooled to accommodate the OS.
automatically upgrading the OS without user input. Next thing you know
I personally think that Microsoft should be litigated if they resort to
they'll be billing you for products and services that they claim you need
regardless of whether you approved them or not. Even the Mac OSs aren't
automatically upgraded until you've accept the terms and hit the button -
so
to speak. Yeah - I know; I suppose they could change that too. Be that as
it
may, it's a really bad idea - at least in the climate that we're in right
now. Believe me; I had a lot of respect for Microsoft in the early days,
but
not so much any more. The same will be said for Apple as well if they keep
going in the direction they're going. Right now I see very little in
quality
control with either company when it comes to getting OSs out there as
quickly as possible. That seems to be the corporate way now; get it out
there, then mop up the hellacious messes later. That's hardly a wise use of
resources.

Hi all,
This is good information, thank you.
Anyone else hear the rumor that MicroSoft is considering moving the
Windows 10 upgrade to automatic upgrades.
This is horrifying to me.
I hope to hell it's not true.
I for one keep my studio machine off line except for very rare
occasions Obviously I have another machine with Windows 7 for nearly
everything on-line.
