This video will show you how to stop the Windows 10 upgrade from installing on your Windows 7 or Windows 8 computer.
Basically, you can disable by following the directions in a microsoft document here: support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3080351 but the directions are semi-difficult.
Luckily, there is a much easier option to stop the Windows 10 upgrade, a free program called Never10. You can download Never10 free here: grc.com/never10.htm?1
After you download the program, just click on it to run, no install needed.
Next, if you don't have the newest updates, it has an option to install them. These are needed for the WIndows 10 upgrade disable fix. After it is installed, you need to restart your computer and run Never10 again.
When it comes back up, it should have a button at the bottom to disable the Windows 10 update. Just hit this to disable it, or if the WIndows 10 upgrade is disabled, you can click it again to re-enable the upgrade.
This also has the option to delete the Windows 10 installation files, because they can take up a significant amount of space.
