Microsoft has said they are removing the nag pop-up from computers running Win7 or 8.1, but it will take some time. Anyway, since the period for free upgrade to Win10 has passed, it would seem you can uninstall that program.

It would not hurt to leave it installed a little longer till it's for sure that it won't upgrade.

Since the above link shows that people are still able to get free upgrades, it would be good to give time for Microsoft updates to clear everything out for sure.

I suspect there's a difference between someone actively seeking an upgrade to Win10 as mentioned in your link, and someone trying to prevent an unwanted upgrade. From an article in PCWorld, I understood Win10 will not self install after 7/29 and the nag screen will disappear. But I agree there is certainly no harm in keeping that program active for a while just to make sure.

I downloaded "free" Windows 10 last week. I'm sorry I downloaded it. :Screen_of_Death:

Thank you Mikeod and Wayne Sallee. Its tough being computer illiterate in today's world of technology. I know enough to get myself in trouble but not enough to get out of it.

Yes there is a difference, but it shows how it takes Microsoft a while to get everything changed over.

Giving a little extra time to make sure everything is changed over is a good idea, giving time for microsoft to work all the bugs out.

You mess it up, and then say "So that's what happens when you do that". :)
