If anyone has used this free tool, I would be grateful if they could give some feedback good or bad. I'm not a techie.
Thanks.

Yes, they have.
And with good results as far as I know.
There is another application that does much the same thing called GWX Control Panel, available here:
Ultimate Outsider
I'm not sure if either are needed now that the "Free Upgrade" date has passed--I haven't paid much attention.
The "free" Win 10 offer has ended. You should not need Never 10 (which I tried and didn't work).

Good point. But the feature that I noticed was the following:
------------------------------
If Microsoft's GWX (Get Windows 10) had already secretly and silently downloaded the Windows 10 files into a hidden directory (this can be squatting on more than 6.5 gigabytes of your hard drive space), Never10 will show the exact count and amount of files and allow its user to remove them with one click.
.
I've avoided those folders, but I think they are located in the root of C and can be seen if you have set Windows to view hidden files.
I think they are typically called something like $Windows.~BT or $Windows.~WS.
