How to stop Windows 10 from installing from tray icon?
I notice now that there is this white Windows icon in my taskbar and out of curiosity, I clicked it and see that you can opt in to have Windows 10, the full version, for free. I like to checkout new Windows OS versions, but I hate Windows 8 and would not like Windows 10 "forever" if I try it. I went through the process of saying yes and to my horror, at the end I got a notice that when Windows 10 is released at the end of July, it would be installed!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! I wanted an option on this, not have it rammed down my throat one day after rebooting! This little Windows icon now has me believing that in a month or so, I will reboot to Windows 10 and lose my Windows 7 setup. I don't want this, I just want to see what it is like, not be stuck with it. It hasn't happened yet and so who can tell, but has anyone here had experience with with Windows 10 or especially, how to not have it installed automatically? I am now reading some of the bad stuff about it. OMG, am I really doomed?
