We use Windows10 on our two 'home computers', but I also work online, and one place I work for uses RetailPro, which is not Windows10 compatible.
If there are compatibility reasons for avoiding it altogether, you can download Never10 app, and it will block the Windows10 upgrade virus. It works well, and Norton/Malwarebytes approved
In the end my work laptop is still on Windows7...
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade]
"AllowOSUpgrade"=dword:00000000
"ReservationsAllowed"=dword:00000000
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade\State]
There's another that will get rid of the toolbar nagging, search for DisableGWX and you'll find that.
