If you’re running a Windows 7 or 8.x PC, you’re likely experienced Microsoft trying to push Windows 10 onto your PC. Fortunately, Microsoft has a document that tells you how to turn this rather annoying behavior off. This is the document in question and it is the best way to deal with this issue. Why? The only other way to deal with this is to turn off Windows Updates. That’s bad because this leaves you wide open to security issues that hackers may already be exploiting.
One thing that you should keep in mind is that this is going to be a non-issue in a few months as Microsoft is only offering Windows 10 as a free upgrade until July. After that, users will have to open their wallets to get Windows 10. At that point, Microsoft’s aggressive tactics should stop. Maybe.
