Every time I open my screen there is an offer to install window 10 blocking out my desktop.  I have no intentions of using Window  10 and would like to get rid of it, but there is no way to do this.  This is a harassment.

      Hi Senora
       
      Welcome to the Community Forums.
       
      Yes, this seems to be a problem and getting worse as the date for the expiry of the free upgrade approaches.
       
      Have you taken a look and tried what is detailed in this MS Article?
       
      In addition you can also Google "how to block windows 10 update notification" and that will bring up a number of further options as to how to deal with this notification.
       
      Hope that helps?
       
      Regards, Baldrick

          I have no plans on installing Win 10 as I am happy with Win 7. The constant reminders dont bother me as I just ignore them. Since I dont want Win 8 or 10 and am quite happy with Win 7, will the sky fall and will the Sun suddenly dim if I dont install the 8 or 10 ?  Just curious.
