Hey Steve,
Thanks for that info. Even though I've done that, it's good to have it out
there so others can do the same. The only thing more I'll say is that you
just never know what Microsoft will come up with to override things because
they've been very aggressive in their quest to get people over to Windows
10. I guess the bottom line is that I simply don't trust the computing world
any more - particularly the OS part of it.
Mike

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.
PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
