Hi,
What Flor proposes will work fine.
However, if you switch off automatic Windows updating, you will then be
responsible for ensuring that updates are installed. If you don't you could
leave yourself open to vulnerabilities that Microsoft have identified and
sent out updates to fix. Updates are usually sent by Microsoft once a week
so it would be advisable to install them weekly.
Take care,
Gerry Ellis

How will you know when you get there?

Hi Damien,
Here's a detailed how-to on preventing "Get Windows 10" from being on your
machine for some time. (This is more than just going to the Web site and
then clicking on the Cancel or 'Ask Me Later' button.)
HTH.
If you want to completely get rid of the alert, you will have to remove the
update numbered
KB3035583
To remove the update,
1. Open the
"Run"
dialog by pressing Windows key R.
2. Type
appwiz.cpl
and press Enter.
3. When Programs and Features opens, tab to "View installed updates"
and press Enter.
4. Wait a few seconds for the list to populate.
5. Tab to the search field and type
KB3035583
6. After a couple of seconds, tab to the listview, select the update, and
press Enter.
7. The Windows installer will ask if you are sure you want to uninstall the
update so select "Yes"
8. Wait for the update to finish uninstalling and restart if you are asked
to do so.
Note that the update will eventually be reinstalled unless you configure
Windows Updates to not automatically install and then uncheck/hide it the
next time it is offered.
You may or may not want to make this change, but if you decide to do so, 1.
Open the "Run"
dialog with Windows key R.
2. Type
wuapp
and press Enter.
3. Tab to
"Change settings"
and press Enter.
4. Tab to the combo box and select
"Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them"
5. Tab to the
"OK"
button and select it to save the changes.
Until you revert this setting, updates will not be automatically installed.
The next time you are alerted about new updates, you will have to review the
list and find the update by it's KB number which again is KB3035583. It
will be listed under optional updates. Once you find it, press the Spacebar
to uncheck it, press the Applications key to activate the context menu, and
select "Hide update"
Note that it may take several update cycles before the update is offered
again.

Hi everyone.
I'm using windows 7 on a desktop that I bought in 2009 and have been advised
not to upgrade to windows 10. How do I get rid of that "get windows 10"
message that comes up when I turn on my machine.
Thanks in advance
Damien.

Paul,
There are some forms on Web sites that Chrome does a better job at filling
in than either Internet Explorer or Firefox. On one or two occasions, I saw
necessary buttons there that I didn't see with either of the other two
browsers. So, Yes, Firefox or Internet Explorer are better for many of the
Web sites we would regularly use, but when difficulties present themselves
there it is as well to have Google Chrome in the toolbox.

Hi Cearbhall,
Screen reader accessibility with Chrome is very flakey, best leave it alone
for now.

Hi everyone,
I have been exploring the settings and menus in Google Chrome on my 64bit
laptop using NVDA 2015.3 under windows 7. It is quite different from either
Firefox (my current default) and internet explorer as it does not have a
menu bar as such.
I was worried in case I could not use NVDA to edit data in the search box
and other editable fields. I find that I can enter url data in the Main Tool
bar at the top of the screen and in the settings menu to define my startup
page.
However, I cannot see or edit text that I type in the search field.
Is there any way for me to do this?
All the best,
Cearbhall
