so somehow they downloaded a program to my computer that puts a fucking icon in the corner of my screen by the clock telling me to upgrade, which should be illegal. Secondly i can't find out how to get rid of it, fuck microsoft, im saying on windows 7 FOREVER, you hear me, FOREVER

I actually accepted the yet to be determined download hoping the icon would go away. It did not

Right click on the taskbar area and click properties, in the notification area click customize, find the gwx icon and select "always hide" "Hide icon and notifications".
Problem solved. I found it annoying too.
I am not upgrading Windows. I learned my lesson about upgrading from a working version of Windows long ago. It always ends in disaster.

MS is an evil corporation and gates is a jackass. I don't have the icon, lucky me.

there are way better free operating systems.
you can put them on your machines.
android x86. ubuntu. fedora.
on ubuntu and fedora you can run windows software through wine (with a few exceptions)
even most games work fine, unless you have crappy hardware
then they suck on windows too... so deal.

I think they are just trying to gauge interest in the free upgrade. I don't think "reserving your upgrade" means you can't back out later. The actual date it's available is Jul 29 IIRC.
I have only seen this on my Windows 7 laptop, not on my "Windows 8.1 with Bing" intel stick. Not sure if that one is eligible.

There's probably a service that is activating it.. It might be the Windows Update service itself... see if you can gather any data on it by observing processes/hovering the mouse over the icon/right clicking on it? Once you find out the particular service you can disable it.

I hadn't thought about removing it completely but yeah you can.
Run > enter "tasks" > microsoft > windows > setup > and delete the two gwx folders. You'll need to change permissions on one of the folders. Right click the folder > properties > security > edit permissions > and then give your user full access.

don't do it. Windows 10 Home is unable to turn off automatic updates, only the Pro and Enterprise editions let you do that.
so unless you want your computer restarting every half hour, i wouldnt do it.

Not sure what you're talking about?
That's to remove the stupid "update to windows 10" thing from windows 7. If you mean don't get windows 10, don't worry I'm already way ahead of you.
