Windows 10: Taking full control of Win 10 upgrades on 29th July ... ?

Hello

I have used the tray app to register for Win 10 upgrade on a number of PCs / laptops (Win 7 & Win 8).

However I am now a bit concerned that come "D-Day", the app will automatically download the installation files (or at least a significant amount of them) on 29th July - but I would like to take complete control over the upgrades as some of my computers require some preparation & research prior to upgrade.

Can someone clarify for me ?

Thanks

:)

 

Using Win 10 ISO after 29 July

In order to qualify for the free upgrade offer, users must take advantage of offer
before July 29th. If you don't upgrade before then, Windows 10 will not activate and you will need to purchase a full version license.

You can consider the following option as a work around which will give you the opportunity to upgrade your own leisure.

Win 10 Upgrade

Can I download the free Win 10 upgrade and then install it after the July 29th deadline?

 

It will download the files but you get to choose when to install them.

 

Thanks

So if I want to hold off any Win 10 activity on a machine I would best cancelling the upgrade for that machine ?

If so, and subsequently I then want to re-register to upgrade that machine, how would I do this ? With the same app or is there an alternative method ?

 

You do not have to cancel, you will have one year from the 29th to install it.

 

Sorry, should have made myself clearer.

I don't want any form of automated downloading of Win 10 installation files to some of these machines, but would prefer to download large single installation manually & save to media (USB / DVD) sometime after 29th. How would I do this for the relevant machines ?

 

Well then romove it and follow the steps in this Tutorial for every machine.

Thanks - but those instructions are for Win 10 . These machines have Win 7 or 8 on them.

I would not upgrade at all,the only thing I can do now is internet, lost control of C drive, download installs, I liked windows 3.11, 98 ME, and 7 more than 10.

 

I would upgrade at the first opportunity. Windows 10 has been the best and fastest OS I have used since starting with a TRS-80 Model 1 in 1980. Windows 10 is as flawless as any Windows has ever been on 9 computers at my house.
