I don't want to upgrade to Win 10 (from Win7) just yet but when I run Windows Update, the Windows 10 upgrade starts. I can see there are many Win7 updates waiting too but cancelling the Win10 upgrade means no other updates get installed. I've uninstalled KB2990214 and have rerun Windows Update (as suggested in other threads) but starting Windows Update still starts the upgrade.
Is there any way to totally remove the Win10 upgrade so I can do the rest of the Win7 updates? When I look at updates I've hidden, I can see "Upgrade to Windows 10 Home" and it's not selected. Thanks in advance!
Hello!
So, I understand that you are constantly getting asked to upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7, although you don't want to. Well, I have also had this problem, and I may be able to help. Although, it may be easier now that it was in July.
So, since it is September now, almost into Autumn, the Windows 10 Upgrade should be over now. The Windows 10 free upgrade should no longer be present on Windows 7, since it should have gone away on July 29th of this year. However, feel free to respond back if this is not that the case with your Windows 7 device.
Hi,
Even tho you say that Win 10 should not be present, every time I go to do an Update it says it is downloading Win10 and I have to come out of the update. I have done everything like removing update KB3035583, running disk scan and cleaned up system files by looking for the large Win 10 update file. Yet I still can't update my system. I am using Windows 7 which was a big enough upgrade for me after using XP for years. I use Win 10 at work...I do not like it and want to keep Win 7 on my personal computer. But I would like to get my updates without Microsoft constantly trying to download 10 on my laptop.
