[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 976995, member: 176704"] Having 5 machines to keep reasonably in sync OS-wise, I'm trying to take a steady approach to this - one step at a time starting with the least used/important ones and working my way up! Did a similar W10 upgrade download to a USB stick on the old Dell laptop running V7 Pro 32 bit - and that was neither prompting me to upgrade to W10 before or after the download. [I]However,[/I] out of curiosity, I then clicked on the W10 upgrade icon on the Taskbar to see what it said - which was that the machine was going to be [B]automatically[/B] upgraded in a very few days!!!!! The same turned out to be true on my main Samsung laptop, and my wife's machine, which is identical to my old Dell but running W7 Home Premium. Managed to cancel both upgrades - the Pro m/c's were straightforward to do, but the Home Premium m/c was actually more convoluted as you first have to change the scheduled date time before you can cancel it! Very sneaky, but then I think we all knew that anyway:mad: [/QUOTE]
