Then if I hate Windows 10, all I have to do is boot up to the 2nd drive, clone it back to wipe out Windows 10 and I'm covered.
I tried uninstalled the update that keeps the Windows 10 forever in the system tray doing nothing, and now I have the update icon nagging about installing it again. So it seems I'm stuck with having one useless icon or the other for the next 2 months sitting there doing nothing.

I have finally made a clone drive myself as insurance. (Now the challenge as in the past is to keep it updated)
My post was directed mostly to they that are not hardware geeks or used to pulling Backup/images on a regular basis.
The program I listed is almost dead simple and so quick (less than one hour) to backup to my three Terabyte storage drive from my one Terabyte laptop drive. That it is super easy, quick and painless to pull images instead of backups.
The program I listed is great for they that want, free,quick,easy, and quick insurance to not lose anything and the avoid the pain of starting from scratch and losing their stuff if something goes deep south and beyond recovery. (Sooner or later it happens to all of us)
To get rid of the icon, you have to turn off automatic windows updates at the update site. Then delete the updated file on your computer, the number has been listed here. Reboot, and then do a windows update at the update site, find the offending update and hide it at the site.
Then you can turn on automatic update and windows will not bother you about it, nor offer it because it is hidden and ignored.
Do a Google search about how.
Easy, but takes a tad of searching for the file and a reboot.
