I accidentally got around this issue, both at home and at work...

At home, since I never use IE and really, really can't stand it, I always remove IE from the Windows Features box (I run Win7). Well, Windows 10 won't install unless you have a fully up-to-date IE11 installation. It actually made for a couple headaches when I actually WANTED to upgrade one of my PCs to Win10, but my main gaming rig is staying at Win7 due to some compatibility issues other users have complained about with Win10.

At work, we have to use an older version of IE for our customers (who are, technologically speaking, in the Dark Ages or thereabouts), so the same thing happens. None of us are bothered by Win10 upgrade requests!
Apparently this even prevented Windows from trying to get you to install Windows 10!



Since some people have said they want to prevent the update...
Easy solution since Internet Explorer is an abomination which you are well rid of...
