Please, note that Microsoft continuously re-releases old & new updates regarding free Windows 10 upgrade notifications in the meantime, including much deeper integration with other “bug fixes”, practically making it impossible or extremely hard to permanently hide Windows 10 Upgrade notifications. The best thing we did on one of our older computers was to hide notification icon from the tray, so it completely stopped bothering us about the update (but, it is still visible & accessible when we expand hidden tray icons menu).
As a last resort, you can try your luck with Never 10 application (direct download here), which claims to automatically remove all pre-downloaded Windows 10 files, and also disables automated OS upgrades (sorry, we haven’t tested it).
With all the noise and dust that came along with the latest Windows 10 Free Upgrade, being technically the most advanced, and likely the most spying-oriented operating system from Redmond giant, Microsoft, there comes an annoying notification that you apparently cannot turn-off (oops! they forgot to put “No, thanks!” option). Here’s how you can do it on Windows 7/8 and turn this offer for good.
