I've been using Windows 10 for a couple of months now, and I see no reason to believe that Windows 10 downloads more in the way of updates than Windows 7 does. What leads you to believe that it does?

I really like Windows 10. It's certainly nothing to be scared of if you're currently using Windows 7.
Good point about the battery - if I do this, I'll remember to charge it. Since I have very limited data on the road, I don't want Microsoft deciding to download an update whenever they choose and I have to pay my data provider extra just because of the update. If I could choose when to download (like I do with Windows 7) I could wait until I'm at a hotspot somewhere to download. Otherwise, I have no problem with a Windows 10 system.
