Hello. This question is regarding Windows 10 and Windows 7 both. So I decided to post it here in Windows 10 forum. If you think this should be in Windows 7 then you can move this thread to Windows 7 forum. History : So, I reserved my copy many weeks ago using windows 7. Later on 29 July I didn't get my windows 10 copy on that day. So, I downloaded Windows 10 manually and installed on separate local disk to test before upgrade but I found that Windows 10 was so lag and I decided to continue using Windows 7 and formatted Windows 10 partition. Problem : But, as I reserved my Windows 10 copy, today I am getting notification in quick launch that your copy is ready to upgrade. I am also seeing windows 10 optional update of 2000 MB in Windows Update Center. I did hide to that update. But still if I take any other update, the Windows update says Windows 10 is downloading. So, please I need to completely remove that annoying windows 10 notification and Windows update and where ever windows 10 things exist in my windows 7. Thanks
