Oct 5, 2016 - "For whatever reason, our old nemesis KB 2952664 reappeared suddenly yesterday afternoon, and Windows users are livid... For those of you who don't recall, KB 2952664 (and its Windows 8.1 companion KB 2976978)... Bottom line: If you want to upgrade your Windows 7 or 8.1 PC to Windows 10, and haven't already done so, you're being set up to pay-full-price for the privilege. If you want to keep Windows 10 off your machine, don't install KB 2952664 (Win7) or KB 2976978 (Win 8.1)...
Update: A Microsoft spokesperson sent this comment:
'There is no Get Windows 10 or upgrade functionality contained in this update. This KB article is related to the Windows Update and the appraiser systems that enables us to continue to deliver servicing updates to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 devices, as well as ensure device and application compatibility.'"
