I downloaded and installed the GWX Control Panel
<http://blog.ultimateoutsider.com/2015/08/using-gwx-stopper-to-permanently-remove.html>
and can attest that it's simplicity to use, stops the nagging and is
completely reversible should you feel the need to be nagged.
Watch the YouTube tutorial. Better than reading the page above.

Incidentally, when Win 10 is downloaded on your system it can be found
in C:\Windows\System32\GWX (GWX means Get Windows 10). I discovered a
detailed directory structure and some files there but the entire thing
was only taking up 32MB. Obviously the code hasn't been downloaded
there yet.

I'm still quite happy with Win 7. I have turned off automatic updates,
but I see, at least on my Dell, that the check box that was
automatically checked for Win 10 installation has disappeared. At
least, they seem to be listening to the flack.
