How do I turn off the end of support banner in office 2010 permanently? (Office 2010, Windows)

Hi, 

I have a home and student edition of office 2010 that I am perfectly comfortable with. Every time I open the office suite (Word, Excel, Powerpoint), MS helpfully points out that support is ending and that I should upgrade to a newer version. Screenshot attached. 

I would like an exit from this persistent nagging and quasi privacy nightmare. Some regedit skills are in place and I can follow instructions when clearly given, even if they are complex in nature. 

Thanks

    I made the change of the date but then I also did a search of the entire registry for "TimeToNextCall" and found a 2nd occurence so I made sure both were set to a year of 2021.  We'll see if that (hopefully) resolves the problem.

    "What has worked is setting the date that the message will show up ahead about 5 years."

    Exactly how is that done?

    Have tried this in the past, it works until Microsoft "updates" and then it's reset back to the way is was.

    What has worked is setting the date that the message will show up ahead about 5 years.

    I can confirm that the same works for Office 2010 Home and Student (Office 14.0) versions

    Office 14 does not have a 'ClickToRun' key so it needs to be added.

    Navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\  Add a new registry key (Right click; New key) called ClickToRun

    Add a DWORD to you newly added key path Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\ClickToRun) (Right click; New DWORD) called UpgradeAdvertised and set it to 1 as mentioned.

    So in summary, when complete, you will end up with a new key called : Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\ClickToRun that contains a REG_DWORD called UpgradeAdvertised with a value of 1.  (See Pic)

    Disclaimers apply.  Don't run Regedit unless you know what you are doing.

    BTW: Does anyone know what "MS will remove the backup install from their site" even means ?
