If you're on professional or higher, you can defer for a period of a second branch, so up to eight months. But this is for feature upgrades only, not servicing updates. For servicing updates to defer you need wsus or sccm.
I drew a diagram simplifying this for my BriForum sessions on windows 10...will dig it up and post it when I get home.

However, I have found Dell and Lenovo laptops can be a nightmare depending on the model. Particularly with the Wifi adapter. Another one that was upgraded periodically loses the ability for any browser to access the Internet. The browsers will still work on the Intranet. A reboot fixes it, but who wants to reboot every couple of days. Not as clean as all the upgrades I did for Win 7 originally. I also really don't like the changes to windows update in Win 10. As an IT professional, I really don't like being forced all updates that are available with no option to pick and choose based on issues and feedback.

[NTSysADM] Windows 10 upgrades Speaking of Win 10 upgrades…. I’ll preface this question by saying I am almost a luddite at home. If I didn’t have to feed my family, I would be a sailing instructor or lawnmower engine repair guy for a living…. How has it gone for all of you who have upgraded an existing build from say Win 7 Pro to Win 10 in place? I know this is the preferred/supported path per Microsoft, but I have NEVER been a fan of in-place upgrades… (GET OFF MY LAWN!)…. I’ve got several Win 7 Pro systems at home that I disabled the win 10 notifications, though I plan to upgrade them and was wondering just how much of a pain or success it has been. Yes, I know, Win 10 has 5,000 bazillion users now, but I’d like to hear from some fellow engineers….who have to be the Help Desk for their families…. Thanks!

What a way to destroy any good will and trust. As James pointed out, this is a great way to get people to completely disable updates again. -- Espi On Wed, May 25, 2016 at 10:06 AM, Melvin Backus <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Given the folks on the list many of you may already know this but I just ran across this.
