    A new simple way to disable the upgrade to Windows 10


    A new program that allows you to choose to keep with your current Windows
    7,8 and 8.1, and deny/stop the upgrade.

    You can also wait a day or two after getting the notification they will install Windows 10 on x day, then you will see the ''cancel'' option :) And if for some reason you end up updating to Windows 10, you have the chance to revert back after 30 days. I thought you'd like to know :)

    You raise some good points for those that have had the upgrade forced
    on to their machines.


    For those who are on a limited internet allowance the program I have listed
    will help prevent the large download taking place.

    Both tips will help others.

    What I did was delete the specific updates they had already installed in my computer setting everything up for the windows10 transition. Man I just can't believe this is happening, how crazy is that they are getting away with this forced transition? Now everybody need to defend themselves and counter-attack the windows invasion, lol, its just crazy.

    I have activated disable upgrade option and I never have had any issues. I have also the same setting for most of my program updates. I upgrade and update only when I want.

    Can actually somebody provide some kind of proof that the windows 10 installation is going to be forced on people regardless of them disabling all windows updates?

    I am seen more and more people complaining that they just wake up one morning to discover that their machines were updated out of the blue. I find this hard to believe unless people actually forgot to turn off some option or accidentally went ahead and clicked something without reading.

    My last remaining Windows 7 machine keeps pestering me about the update but I simply cancel every time, there is no way on Earth to convince me to update to Windows 10 on that machine, it is too critical to my work and I can't afford the risk of it breaking something, plus I liked Windows 10 at the beginning, but I have had multiple issues on other machines.

    Microsoft could get in serious trouble if they try to pull that one off.
