Hope This Works!

I, like many others, thought an offer of free Windows 10 was a great thing at first. Now I am reading that it may wreak havoc on older computers. So now I am trying to avoid the Windows 10 update. 

Microsoft says to do this: 

Computer Configuration
To block the upgrade by using Computer Configuration, follow these steps:
  1. Click Computer Configuration.
  2. Click Policies.
  3. Click Administrative Templates.
  4. Click Windows Components.
  5. Click Windows Update.
  6. Double-click Turn off the upgrade to the latest version of Windows through Windows Update.
  7. Click Enable.
Policy path: Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Update Policy
Setting: Turn off the upgrade to the latest version of Windows through Windows Update



I can't even find that path on the computer.

So I tried this...


Now it's supposed to ask my permission first, which I can deny. 

(Yes, I am a little weird and have a link to the Celebrity Grave Finder website. We go to the Forest Lawn Museum occasionally and it's nice to visit someone while there.)

After the computers at work were stolen last summer, we had to buy new ones and of course they had to come with Windows 10.
I'm still trying to adjust. UGH.
