Good afternoon everyone,
If this helps and you have a sighted person that can do this for
you there seems to be a checkbox that if activated with a mouse stops
the Windows 10 Upgrade message from appearing. We had some friends of
ours here last night. One of them saw this notification and was able to
stop it by clicking it with the mouse. So far it has not reappeared at
least for now. Let's hope it stays that way. Otherwise we'll need to
install the GWX tool mentioned in previous messages. As far as we're
concerned this is spam and Microsoft needs to be called out for it. It's
one more reason why I'm seriously considering switching to a Mac
desktop. I need to buy a new desktop next year and the Mac is high on my
list for consideration.

Microsoft keeps releasing updated versions of the Windows Updates

vigilant with regard to Windows Updates if you're going to try to
keep GWX from installing.
A far easier option, and one that "the geek world" is loving, is GWX
Control Panel, available on the developer's webpage here
<http://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/>. He has been quite diligent
in paying attention to which Windows Updates are trying to install
GWX as time goes by and either blocking those if they're not yet
installed or removing any GWX material from those that have.
I recommend this highly as an ongoing solution until Microsoft ends
the free upgrade period (with attendant nags) on July 31, 2016.
