W10 will now be a recommended update and thus will download automatically. Note that it will not install itself, but will still take up 6 GB of space, not to mention an insanely long update process as it shoves that monstrosity through your network connection.

Go to Control Panel/Windows Update and into Change Settings.
UNtick Recommended updates, save settings and you should be good for a while.

Someone claims to make a tool to uninstall/delete/prevent Windows 10 from getting onto Win 7/8 machines.

W10 will now be a recommended update

Who would opt for "recommended" updates anyway? These have always been mostly garbage that does nothing but slow down the system and waste storage space. I avoid "recommended" updates for both Office and Windows, though I always automate "required" updates.
