Changelog:

A simple tool to disable Windows 10 upgrade and recover up to 6GB of disk space

Windows 10 is very often silently pushed onto Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers.
You may have noticed this kind of "Windows 10" icon and message that pops up quite often:

 

 

And there's more: it is not unusual for up to 6GB of data (Windows 10 installation files) to be downloaded and installed on your local hard disk drive
A version of the update that deploys "Upgrade to Windows 10" components, dated 2015/December/15, has been deployed to a lot of systems! New components related to incite or force working systems to upgrade to Windows 10 are deployed every other week.

Win10 Security 1.2

 

This program does not remove anything, it only disables the software method for user tracking function. This means that you can always safely back to the system to enable all necessary functionality.

Win10Tweak can disable functions such as telemetry, sending voice samples, keyboard input, OneDrive, voice assistant Cortana, a location and a host of others. Total includes 82 tweaks, in Russian.

Besides all this development was incomplete coerce functional programs such as DoNotSpy10, O & O ShutUp10 and SpyBot. The basic functionality of all three were combined, checked and corrected in accordance with the current settings in Windows.

Never 10

Easily Control Automatic and Unwanted Windows 7 & 8.1 Upgrading to Windows 10

The name “Never 10” is a bit of an overstatement, since this utility may also be used to easily re-enable Windows operating system automatic upgrading. But the primary reason for using this is to, at least initially, disable Windows' insistence upon upgrading Windows 7 or 8.1 to Windows 10.

The elegance of this “Never 10” utility, is that it does not
install ANY software of its own. It simply and quickly
performs the required system editing for its user.

If the system being configured has a version of Windows Update which is older than the required July 2015 release, this utility will notify its user (see the sample display screens above) and will offer to download and install the required update to Windows Update so that Windows can be configured not to upgrade itself to Windows 10.

Since this utility simply updates and/or configures the system to prevent or allow OS upgrading, it may be deleted after it has configured the system appropriately.
