Beware of upgrade from Windows 8.1 Home or Bing editions

According this article there will be no way to control, postpone or select indivudial Windows updates only on Windows 10 Home edition.

Yep. And the options for Pro are almost as abysmal.

So now I have to pay for the LTS version of the Enterprise edition in order to keep control of my own system? Not bloody likely.

That just killed any interest I may have had in Win 10 --- to install it you have give MS permission to brick your computer.

Just removed KB 3035583 from my computer (it had somehow slipped onto it).

Couldn't you turn off the Windows Update service and then patch manually, or use a 3rd-party tool such as wsusoffline? This may become a popular option among techies like us.

3rdParty tool for such critical task ? Never. Path manually is pain either. Current solution, ignore Windows 10. I'll check the final Pro version in virtual machine when available because it is the only reliable information.

+ 1.

I fail to see any meaningful *real-world* improvements that would entice me to go through the entire updates-hacking process. We are all well-aware of MS' abysmal history of breaking working systems with their updates and with the concept of these being force-fed the OS in question is not going on any of the "eligible" machines in this household, period. It's really *that* simple.
