When you're ready, you can get rid of the Windows 10 nag by going into delete programs and finding Windows Update KB3035583. Delete it, restart and the nag will be gone. Do remember to go into Windows Update to hide that update or it will be reinstalled.

Having done the Windows 10 thing (and gotten rid of it) I do have a suggestion. If you are interested in playing with it (and I use the term precisely) then download Win 10 and install it on a separate drive (a 60 Gb drive should work just fine). Don't put it on the same drive as Win 7! If you decide you don't like 10 and want to go back to 7 then its just a simple hd swap. Takes only a couple of minutes. But if you let MS install 10 over 7 then you have hours of work reinstalling 7 (provided you have the Win 7 disk).

IF you do it that way Win 10 is worth playing with. But there are A LOT of problems. I finally gave up when they couldn't keep the darn Start button working the way it should. Finally went away completely.

Good luck.
