    How to prevent windows 10 installing on windows 8.1


    I have a Windows 8.1 Pro workstation that I do all my work on. The company I work with says they will not support Windows 10.

    As far as I remember, I never asked to have this machine to upgrade to 10, but I noticed in the Action Center - Reliability history that starting on Aug 2 it has a warning that it Failed to Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro everyday.

    ------------
    Description
    Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80240020: Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro.
    ------------

    How do I make it stop trying to update? I did upgrade a laptop. Is it tied to my MS User Account some how?

    :)

    Problems in upgrading to Windows 10

    Hi folks; I am trying to install Windows 10, upgrading form Windows 8.1. When running the installation process, get the error OxC1800103Ox9002, what prevents me to move forward. Any clue how to resolve this? Tks
