    NT Windows 10 automatic upgrade warning

    The newest updates for windows 7 & 8 will default to upgrade to windows 10, which I find outrageous. I only learned about this going to the German Google website. Stop installing automatic updates, if you do not want to upgrade to windows 10, manually selected the boxes for all important updates and unselect the box for the optional update for the windows 10 upgrade after checking to show all updates.

      Microsoft has decided that they will control the upgrade process and if you disagree tough luck you got to manually deselect at each update. I just changed my Windows update option to manual to prevent Microsoft sneeking in the Win 10 upgrade because I am not ready.

          Even though I deselected windows 10 it is still trying to download it. What is there to do?

              Seems like you had a warning, where from?

                  It has been widely reported on the net and some print magazines (PC Mag) that you have to manually update windows and deselect the Windows 10 otherwise if you allow automatic update it will download Win 10 and then nag you at each startup to install Win 10.
