Still have Windows 10 Update Screen

[feetand nches]

Hey guys, I have adopted a computer that I need to either sell or donate. It has Windows 8.1 on it but I thought I would get far more exposure here. It had the Windows 10 Upgrade on it years ago. The owner or his tech ran GWX from what I understand. But I didn't know this when I got it. I saw this Windows 10 Upgrade window and freaked out and ran "Never10" selecting to remove everything. Now all works really nice, but I still get this stupid Windows 10 Warning come up at every Update Tues, or any update I think. Is there any way to remove that Warning Screen that keeps coming up. I don't bother me but if I sell or donate, it may upset the new owner.

Thanks, Nasty7

It sounds as you have the (KB2976978 - the Windows 8/8.1 nagware patch that touts the Windows 10 upgrade.)
You will find some of the nagging win10 updates in my list

Perhaps this KB update is the solution-

Edit:
Did you mean win10 upgrade warning or did you mean win7 end of support?

Wow, guys...fast responses. Thanks very much, I will do this tonight! Sorry I posted in the wrong area.

I would have thought Never10 would take care of all that, but this was run long after GWX Tool was run, and I don't think it was run properly.

Well, I would say post on Eight Forums, but the answer applies equally to W7. Check to see if you have had the update KB3184143. This update is the one that was supposed to remove all that from both W7 and W8.

This update removes the Get Windows 10 app and other software related to the Windows 10 free upgrade offer that expired on July 29, 2016.

Wow, there is no download available!

Okay, got it now!

Even though it did not show up in the "show all updates" window, and I did a search, it was already installed.

EDIT: Now I see it in Installed Updates Window.

That is why i dare not do anything for Windows 10 upgrade easily,because i am afraid that i will do more and more wrong.

Nasty,

If you are intending to "move this system on", Either by a sale or donation, you would be better off letting the system upgrade to Windows 10.

There is nothing wrong with anyone such as yourself making a personal decision to remain with an older OS, and I have always defended a user's right to do so. However that is unlikely to be the choice of the majority of potential customers, Windows 10 has been the De Facto Standard for almost five years now, and is what people would expect to see on a system they were buying or acquiring. the upgrade to 10 is still free and would be likely to make the system worth more when sold.

In the end it's your choice, but second user sales will always be a buyers market, except in the case of antiques and specialist rarities

I can't disagree with that, but I had it sold but couldn't meet the guy because of family health issues. And where I live the market is flooded with used Windows 10 machines. And it's less work for me haha, 8.1 is already on it! 8 is fast and has no issues with forced updates, upgrades and drivers.

 

[Barman58]

What I'd do in this situation is to download an installer, direct from Microsoft and include it with the sale, it's up to the buyer if the do anything about it

OR just point the buyer to here ...

Nigel, people are so cheap here all they want is to talk you down as much as possible. If they want windows 10 they can go elsewhere. I've put hours of work into used computers for sale and people don't want to pay me 30.00us for them, they are cheap. The market is flooded here with tons of old business computers with 10 on them, junk. I test all components before donating or sale, and clean them out real well, but they don't care, they want junk I guess.

Anyhow the issue is all fixed and it will be sold to the next bidder that meets the very fair price.
