Ever since the beginning of this month, Microsoft has been showing Windows 10 upgrade notification on PCs running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 with the latest updates. The notification does nothing but asks users to reserve their free upgrade by entering an email address.
The Windows 10 upgrade notification is delivered through Windows Update service, and the update KB3035583 is responsible for this notification. When the update is installed, an app called Get Windows 10 is installed on your PC.
As you probably know, the Get Windows 10 app not only allows you register for the free Windows 10 upgrade but also includes Windows 10 Upgrade Advisor tool, which helps you check your PC and installed apps for compatibility issues.
Additionally, when you reserve your free upgrade, the Get Windows 10 app automatically downloads Windows 10 installation files in the background (around July 29), and once installation files are ready, it helps you upgrade your existing Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 installation to Windows 10.
While millions of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users have already registered for the free upgrade, thousands of users are not exactly happy with the notification. Many users who plan to continue running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 want to get rid of Windows 10 upgrade notification by removing Get Windows 10 app.
I Don’t Want Windows 10 Tool
We have already covered how you can remove Get Windows 10 app from the taskbar as we as your PC. But if you still see the upgrade notification even after following all the workarounds out there on the web, here is a free tool that promises to remove Windows 10 Upgrade Notification completely.
I Don’t Want Windows 10 is a free application released by a member of the MSFN forum to get rid of Windows 10 upgrade notification from your Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 PC.
Although the tool does nothing but uninstalls the update responsible for the upgrade notification, many users who can’t uninstall the update can use this tool. I Don’t Want Windows 10 application is compatible with Windows 7 as well as Windows 8.1, both x86 and x64.
Head over to the link mentioned at the end of this article to download I Don’t Want Windows 10 tool. Those of you on Windows 8.1, the smart screen filter, might suggest you against running this tool. You can ignore the warning and run this tool as the tool is safe.
For those who are wondering, the upgrade notification might come back at a later time if and when the update is installed again. By the way, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users can upgrade to Windows 10 without losing data and by keeping most of the installed programs.

I began having monitor compatibility and blue screens and sound card issues after installing 10. You can do a factory reinstall to go back. Just make sure to save files somewhere else before you factory reset.
Eunice says
I do not, not want windows 10. they are insisting, just makes me angry. We want the choice to be ours. This is a free choice nation but they are not giving me the choice
Carol says

From what I have read, I am not alone in not wanting to rush into win 10
I am constantly astounded by Microsoft’s arrogance in forcing their
unstable, unreliable programs on the suckers who own pc’s. Have in the
past legally purchased dvd’s of win 7 ultimate, win 7 home premium and
3 copies of win 8.1. several were lost due to pc failure due to power faults
or lightning strikes. Due to the tyranny of distance have been forced to
re-use a sshd in another pc, as an oem version of win 7 Pro, installed by
a manufacturer was noi recognized by Microsoft when I installed the
key when askedyet other program manufacturers, have bent over
backwards to give me a link to a download, and supplied a copy of original
keys, as I was ableto convince them I was genuine..Can supply names of
programs, andsuppliers if anyone is interested.
I am quite happy with Win 8.1 as it is faster, more stable and the backup
and restore works well as does automatic backups, so WHY oh WHY
cannot Microsoft leave well alone ????
Audrey says
I want windows 8 back I hate windows 10. But I didn’t back up anything. And I can’t find how to delete windows 10 off of my computer
admin says
Sherry, please downgrade to Windows 7 as early as possible.
Sherry says
I upgraded to windows 10 and I don’t want it. How can I go back to windows 7???
H. Smith says
Useless. The download is empty. Nothing in it.
Leonardo Lappano says
I DO NOT WANT WINDOW 10: i AM OK THE WAY i AM NOW. pLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE.
Graham Sharpe says
I understand that there will not be a version of Windows 10 to run on a Microsoft surface rt tablet. What are people who have supported Microsoft in the past by purchasing the surface rt supposed to do to get an update. How long are Microsoft going to support Windows 8?
