I’m starting to hear about more and more people getting caught in the Windows 10 forced upgrade. Microsoft does provide a group policy object to allow you to not upgrade to Windows 10 on domain-member computers (though it still has the annoying little icon in the system tray saying the administrator has blocked it).
Personal computers that aren’t joined to a Windows domain may be getting the virtually forced upgrade. So far, this seems to be the best tool from an extremely credible individual for blocking it. https://www.grc.com/never10.htm Steve Gibson is highly respected in the technology community and I wouldn’t hesitate to use it, in fact I will be trying it in a couple of hours on a friend’s personal Windows 7 computer that started going down that path. I’ll do it on my personal Windows 7 computer at home too. So far I’ve just been able to hit the x in the upper corner each time I used it (not often, admittedly).
