Microsoft took the initiative to avoid Win7 automatic upgrade Win10

Although Windows10 has the first year of free upgrades, but because each user's computer status is very different, "inadvertently" after upgrading to Win10, various problems caused the computer can not be used normally This happens from time to time, which makes some users have doubts about automatic upgrades. In addition, there are still many users who have not upgraded to Win10 for the time being. In either case, their ultimate goal is the same - don't automatically upgrade to Win10.
As early as this year's Spring Festival, we have introduced a way to avoid Win7 automatic upgrade Win10, but this method is only a stopgap measure, by changing the Windows Update settings to avoid automatic upgrade installation, but Win10 upgrade file Will still be downloaded to the hard drive. The trick to share with you today is even more thorough, allowing the Win7 system to no longer accept any updates related to the upgrade. This method is actually provided by Microsoft. Users only need to change one of the settings in Group Policy as follows:
1. Open the "Run" box and type "gpedit.msc" to start the local Group Policy Editor. ;
2, navigate to: Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Windows Update;
3, in the list on the right, find "Turn off the upgrade to the latest version of Windows through Windows Update", double-click to open the policy settings Set it to Enabled.
Enable this setting to avoid automatic Windows upgrade. This setting will take effect after restarting the computer. In the future, you will not receive any prompts to upgrade to Win10, and will not automatically download and upgrade files related to Win10. Of course, if you change your mind in the future (hopefully upgrade), you can disable the above policy settings again.
