[hpsdr] Best way to block windows 10 upgrade

[AA8K73 GMail]

Thank you George.

I merely went into the Windows registry and added the

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

DisableOSUpgrade 1

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GWX

DisableGWX  1

and it stopped trying to update my Windows 7 desktop to Windows 
10.  It still allows me to install the Windows 7 patches.


It had kept trying to install Windows 10, even though the 
Microsoft web site found that the PC was not able to run Windows 
10.  I would boot, it would fail on Windows 10 and then I had to 
restore back to previous Windows 7 until the next boot.  One 
wonders at the wisdom of their efforts.

I keep that Windows 7 PC running for the dedicated task of BOINC 
QCN earthquake network.  The accelerometers I have do not have a 
driver for Windows 10.
