Don’t accept the EULA and it won’t install...

Go to control panel
Click on uninstall programs
Click on installed updates (at least 200of them will load)
Find and uninstall (one by one) these updates:

KB2952664
KB3021917
KB3022345
KB3035583
KB3068708
KB3075247
KB3080149

They won't be in any order and they all might not be there...They will be listed as "update" not security.

After almost every one you'll have to restart. I tried uninstalling all and then reboot but it didn't work

This is the only way I know how to do it.

You also have to stop the automatic update downloads.

Change your settings to down load updates manually...and watch for those numbers in the download file when you do. You can check them off before you download other updates.

I'm not an expert but I have 12 (old) computers I play with and I've done that procedure on every one of them.

I did allow one computer to download W-10 and in my opinion it sucks.

You are seeing/blocking automatic Windows 7 updates.

I've used Windows 7 for four years.

The updates always come through the first week of each month. Mine came today.

I get screen messages every day urging me to download Windows 10.

Just delete the messages.

Windows 10 does not download itself or download automatically.

Warning - many Windows 7 people are complaining that March's update - the most recent one - has screwed up their computer when starting and loading software.

Today's upload gave me the “Black Screen of Death” for about one hour. Finally, a message popped up, it said to click the message box to re-start, I clicked the box, everything re-booted, and now it works perfectly.

You block the install by closing the window. Also, you have 30 days after the install to go back to Windows 7. That is what I did. Windows 10 erased my home page, removed my cd drive from registry erased my tool bar and a host of other issues. It has a lot of features which I don’t need or want. I am not an on line gamer.
Good luck!

It only downloads the upgrade files. Google/Bing “remove Windows 10 automatic update” and follow any of the number of write ups on how to turn off the auto-update. Microsoft has a multitude of official write-ups on how to disable the upgrade.

Another recommendation for:

I did it on three PCs and no problems.

Compared to the 8s I love 10.

"Telemetry" is Microsoft's word for them spying on you. Windows 10 is full of telemetry. Here's how to stop it: Be sure and check the box labeled "Refresh on reboot" during the install.

Embrace change. Windows 10 is great.

Some FReeper recommended GWX control panel. That’s been working well for me so far. Plus, it gives you a status confirming that your settings are correct to protect you from WX, that the files aren’t being stored on your HDD, etc.
