Computerworld: Microsoft to get pushy about upgrading to Windows 10

[Oilwellian]

64. Here's a great utility to stop the popups and download

Click the link below to Download it:

When it is done downloading, run the file.

A box will come up asking Do you want this program to make changes to your computer? Click Yes.

Click the checkbox to accept the terms of the agreement and click Continue

In the GWX Control Panel Window that comes up:

Step 1: Click “Disable 'Get Windows 10' App”

Step 2: Finally, Click “Disable Operating System Upgrades in Windows Update” this one wants a restart, hit Yes

You continue to get important updates but kills Windows 10 from doing so until you're ready. Here's a great description of what the utility does. I had to do it twice before the icon finally disappeared.
