Thanks, I can hide the update but not otherwise remove it. Another Guru question: I tried deleting some win 10 associated GWX files but can't because the need permission from a "Trusted Installer". What's that about? I'm getting the feeling that to really remove all win 10 update stuff from win 7 I will have to do a clean re-install.
Go to Windows Update > Installed Updates, then search for each of these updates: KB2952664, KB3035583 and KB3021917. Uninstall each, restart your computer, then go back to updates, check for updates and hide these 3. Make sure you are not set to install updates automatically, but to choose what is installed. This should stop the nagware and at least some of the telemetry gathering in W7. KB3035583 and KB3021917 pertain W10 nagware that shows up in W7. KB2952664 has to do with recent telemetry added to W7.

I want to test enterprise version. I can activate it by using Ratiborus KMS activator. Now, is it safe to connect it to my Microsoft Account. I have there a legitimate Windows 10 Pro upgraded from 8.1, Don't they destroy this license?
Gabe Aul say remove all drivers through device manager, this says use add/remove in control panel, I think you had better listen to NVidia on this, after you remove in Control panel, remove what's left in device manager
