which is some print version replies to the article

which itself received 600 replies.

The esteemed photo and computer columnist Jack Schofield has a weekly Guardian column, and this week
another Win 10 column for worriers. (with 300 replies, mostly snark, not useful)

STOPPING THE UPGRADE
Bonus answer: I couldn’t find a recent email asking this
question. However, the current answer is: look for the
line of text under the date that says ’Click here to
change upgrade schedule or cancel scheduled upgrade.’ If
you want to reverse the upgrade within 30 days, go to
Settings, select Update & Security, and then Recovery.
Click the option that says ’Go back to Windows 7’ or
whatever.

If you want to block Windows 10 from being installed,
download GRC’s free utility, Never10. This is not a
program. It simply changes the settings following
Microsoft’s instructions, which people either don’t know
about or can’t follow.
