Windows 10: Disable Upgrade to Windows 10 Update in Windows 7 or 8.1

Hello sml156, *Smile

Thank you, but you don't need to worry about the updates if this is disabled using either option in the tutorial. At least for now.

 

Hmm well am still using 7 and I have given up on updates (I don't install any unless I can prove it doesn't relate to 10) because one can spend so much time going through them researching what is in them and what they will do as the guises are really quite innocuous at first sight - for example KB3139929.

I have yet to go 10 as I didn't really like the GUI for one thing the panels they are seemingly set on us to use and truthfully they annoy the hell out of me. All in all am very disappointed at the way that Microsoft have gone about selling 10 and they use methods that I feel are ones I would not use as I like to be honest and up front with anyone.

 

hiabout Turn off the upgrade to the latest version of Windows through Windows Updatei haven't on my windows 7 64bit sp1 proi have it under windows 8.1 pro 64bitwhy? can't have under w7?thanks

 

Hello drugo, *Smile

If you like, you can use OPTION ONE to disable the upgrade to Window 10 update to no longer have it available.

 

Hi Brink
i did it
just wonder why i haven't

under w7 ..
thanks Brink

 

drugo,

If you mean that you don't have Group Policy in Windows 7, then only the Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions include Group Policy.

 

hi Brink
i have windows 7 sp1 profesional and i have group policy , but under Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Update there is no "Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Update"
i know it's weird *Sad
i tried on another pc with w7 64bit ultimate and there is no Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Update

 

It should be there just like in the screenshot of Windows 7 I just took below. Double check to make sure that you have the correct path of folders expanded open.

 

Hi Brink
look




and




*sarc*sarc

 

I'm guessing you are monitoring your updates? That option needs to have the updated WU client mentioned here


https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3080351

That was in the blue information box on the first page of the tutorial.

 

i guess you are right i haven't kb3080351 , but was it a optional update?
thanks

 

You're welcome, honestly I don't remember, I'm sure it was at least recommended.

So depending on your update settings it could have been in the optional section if that were the case.

 

hi
i have checked on my w8.1 ,i have this update kb3080351 *sarc*sarc*sarc
in short i have not installed on my w8.1 and 7 kb3080351 , that's very weird

 

That is what's needed to have that option added in Group Policy though.

If you don't want to install the updates you can just use option one,

Upgrade to Windows 10 Update - Enable or Disable in Windows 7 or 8.1 - Windows 10 Forums

The .reg file that does the same thing.

 

hi
thanks
i will go with the registry!
under w8.1 i set the policy!
