Have you been getting this annoying pop-up recently asking you to upgrade to Windows 10 every time you start your computer?<\/p>\n

\"windows-10-upgrade-500\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but I found it very annoying. And if you’ve been reading up on Windows 10, it pretty much spies on everything you do. I like my privacy, so although you can opt out of it<\/a> (which is a pain in the butt), I’m sticking with Windows 7.<\/p>\n

So I did a quick search and found out how to get rid of it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s how to get rid of the Windows 10 upgrade notification if you’re using Windows 7:
\n(Windows 8 is very similar once you get to the Control Panel; just search for Control Panel if you don’t know where it is)<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Click on the START button in the bottom left-hand corner and click on Control Panel<\/li>\n
  2. Click on “Uninstall a program” under the Programs section<\/li>\n
  3. Click on “View installed updates” in the navigation bar on the left-hand side<\/li>\n
  4. Maximize the window and increase the width of the “Name” column so you can see the KB#<\/li>\n
  5. Look for update KB3035583 and click on it to select it<\/li>\n
  6. Click the “Uninstall” button above the list of updates<\/li>\n
  7. After it uninstalls, click on the START button in the bottom left-hand corner of your screen, search for Windows Update, and click on it to open it<\/li>\n
  8. Click on the link, “X important update(s) is\/are available” where “X” in the number of important updates available<\/li>\n
  9. Find the update KB3035583, RIGHT-click on it, and select HIDE UPDATE<\/li>\n
  10. That’s it! You’re good to go!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now you can boot up your computer in peace without being hassled to upgrade to Windows 10 and enjoy your privacy!<\/p>\n
