Well my sons actually. Just got the attached message, with no option not to upgrade. Does just closing it with the X at the top right get rid of it? and for how long?
I just went through the upgrade on 2 machines today. One was automatic, was left on after work and it started the upgrade by itself unattended. The other way my laptop, and I manually upgraded it. Both were seamless - to my great surprise and pleasure.
I'm not sure how to choose not to upgrade, but after today, don't see a need to for my work and home machines.

Yep, - just click the x to close. That same message appears every day on my pc but I'm not brave enough to take the plunge yet
The X close it. He is running a backup now and then we will see what we do. I just don't like the way it is being forced. I am all for keeping things up to date, but a change in OS is a big change IMHO and should be a decision not pushed in this way.
Downloaded and ran it after running the Never10, and showed that my PC is now less than a 10 .
The interesting bit was when i closed the panel, i found the following sitting behind it. Wonder if i should hit send??????

You can do a quick registry hack to stop the unwanted upgrade. Also set up your Windows Update settings so you have a choice to download and choose what you want to install. Reboot afterwards.
If it's for an astro lappie or legacy PC fair enough but if it's a fairly recent machine then upgrade. Win 10 seems fairly robust. There's no compelling reason not to upgrade unless you run legacy programs/hardware or it is a business machine and you can't afford service interruption and /or unwanted surprises.
I set it to do the upgrade at 2am , the next day it was all done and dusted zero problems and the differences were small but it made W10 even better , don't worry its a good OS .
I actually installed 10 on an old Dell OptiPlex to have a bo peep. I do not trust MS one iota I must admit, they are very good at getting the population to act as their beta testers. And as is usually the case once they finally get the OS close to working as it should they decide to give it the flick and start the whole thing rolling again with another load of rubbish. I know that according to MS, Windows 10 is their last operating system, yeah I will believe that when hell freezes over.
Hi y'awll,
Just a quickie for those that are getting MS's latest intrusive & aggressive "New update to WIN10 screen."
Steve Gibson's Never 10 v1.3.1.0 takes care of that notification.
Apparently, you cannot stop the upgrade simply by hitting any of the buttons,
including the [X] button.
This will start/schedule the D/L, so do not try it.
D/L Never 10 & run it & no more WIN 10 upgrade issues.
For those that are interested, go to twit.tv, scroll down to "Help & How To" & look for
Security Now, episode 561, 24 May, D/L or just run it & go to 1 Hr 02 Mins through to 1 Hr 18 Mins where Steve discusses MS's stupidity & arrogance.

Agree it works reasonably well. Upgraded 2 work machines recently. It took some tweaking to make it office work friendlier. Any way one could turn off the start pic that requires hitting enter to get to the actual start screen? It's not a big deal but I dislike additional steps/clicks/entries however small if they achieve absolutely nothing.
I do wonder if it's any faster than Win7. A laptop here still runs 7 and I'm reluctant to put something on it that uses more resouces than the current OS. Plus I'm no longer a toddler and still have reasonably good eye sight and coordination, so silly-apps and huge tiles aren't my thing. Need to do some more research/thinking I guess.
MS took over my lap top with a forced upgrade to W10, couldn't stop it.
Discovered that in the first month you can delete it and re install W7.
Did just that, all good now.
Can't believe the crap they try to peddle.
Frank.

You don't have to use the "Modern UI" with big tiles - Windows 10 in Desktop mode runs just like Windows XP or Windows 7. (This is one thing Microsoft fixed when they went from Windows 8 to Windows 10.)
About the only time I interact with any elements of the "Modern UI" on my (non-touch-screen) laptops is with some of the native apps, such as Facebook, Netflix and eBay, but when I close these apps, I'm straight back on the familiar desktop.
The Modern UI works very well with small form-factor touch-enabled devices (such as Windows tablets), in my opinion, and it's just a quick swipe-and-tap to toggle between the two modes.
this works a treat
