You may be able to block some of the updates by telling it you have a metered connection. I don’t think you can turn off updates completely in 10.

I updated a laptop but decided at the last minute to keep 7 on my main machine. Best decision I’ve made in a good while.

I’ll make a decision between 10 and Linux when I have to get a new machine eventually. Until then, I’ll avoid the Win10 problems.

Please be careful when you dive into Linux. I've been able to dual boot a Win 7 machine and a not current hardware Win 10 machine with Linux Mint. But two weeks ago I bought a modestly current hardware PC with Win 10 on in, and I cannot get Linux Mint to load on it. I can get the GRUB boot screen to come up, but when I select to load Mint, I get the dreaded black screen after that. It's probably a driver problem, but if you can't get the stock .iso file to load, you can't get at the later kernels to see if they support your hardware. It's an annoying problem, and I can't seem to find decent help on any forums yet to get around the problem. I love Linux Mint... no bullcrap Microsoft to deal with, but I just can't get it to load on this new machine.

Yea, you had 30 days after the initial Win 10 install where you could act to keep the Win 7 restore available (if you did not separately keep Win 7 stored altogether somewhere). I did not realize that until I was helping someone else with their first update from Win 7 to Win 10. For them it was good we saw that and right away, for them, we could simply restore Win 7, with Windows restore feature. 30 days later that restore point would have been gone. Wish I had recognized that when I updated my PC to Win 10.
