Hi, I have windows 7. I do not want to upgrade to windows 10. May i have the list of updates, which should not be updated and made to be hidden to be not to be alerted about win 10. I would love to , but my old computer does not support even win 8. Hence I ask. Please give the kb nos

Windows Update will list the new updates every month. Do a GOOGLE search with the KB numbers. If the description is very vague and with the word "Update" then don't install that update. If the update is called a "Security Update" then you can install that update. Otherwise you should be cautious and do a GOOGLE search.

A good source for more info is the information written by one Woody Leonhard.

GWX Control Panel downloadable from the page below does an excellent job of keeping Windows 10 at bay. It's a constant battle for the developer to keep one step ahead of Microsoft and he is constantly updating the utility to do so.

I have two computers which I am pretty sure will not run Windows 10 but are running sweetly with Windows 7 with the aid of GWXCP and I take a pretty dim view of Microsoft's insistence on trying to download and install W10 on machines which are not supported for that OS. There are no W10 drivers available for the wifi on my Lenovo laptop, for instance, and I've found plenty of cries for help from users who've tried to upgrade.

Boggin:
While there are quite a few Win 10 related updates, the main one is KB3035583 which will put the Windows icon into your system tray, but as S_G has advised, download GWX Control Panel and that has fixes to address the various stages at which the icon has made inroads onto your machine.

To ensure Win 10 isn't sneaked onto your machine, change your update settings to Check for but let me choose.... and when Windows Updates are offered, click on each and then on More info in the right pane which will open a MS info page.

Any that relate to ease of upgrade, Windows Update Agent, or Telemetry then right click on those and select Hide - although MS will keep pushing those updates - which is why the GWXCP is the better option.

Nice tool. I use Win 7 as well and I am very happy with it. The fact that the manufacturer of my system won't supply system drivers for Win 10 is for me a good reason to not upgrade to Win 10.
