Hey Red, I’ve got a quick question for you.

I turned off Windows 7 updates during the “free” Windows 10 upgrade period, and have never turned them back on. Is it safe to accept Win7 updates now?

Yes- you won’t get the nagging windows 10 updates on windows 7 updates anymore- used to be we had to hide certain KB updates to avoid the nagging screens for 10- but they aren’t there anymore-

Might wanna just do a search for ‘phone home updates in windows 7” though- not sure if there are any of those snuck in now or not-

We did the same. Some months ago, MSA removed all upgrade upgrades.

You should be safe now.
