Windows update - simply annoying

Only a handful of our business clients have upgraded from Win7 to Win10 but the grueling Win 10 upgrade cycle has caused an inordinate amount of work from those. Yay!!! - now we have 3D paint 30 hours later after troubleshooting failed upgrades.

As others have mentioned Win10 pro can delay the features updates for up to one year. If anyone on the Home version of Win10 happens to have a license key for Win7 Pro you can use it to upgrade your existing Win10 to Pro. I’ve tested this and it worked:
