Windows – Reject windows 10 free upgrade with Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0 SP2

windowswsus

is it possible to reject windows 10 free upgrade with Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0 SP2 ?
I would like to block every possible free upgrade in my network, and I need to prevent the upgrade on several windows 7 pro and windows 8.1 pro machines.
Can it be done with wsus 3.0 sp2?
Would you recommend that course of action?
Thank You.

You could block the updates that include the Get Windows 10 app in WSUS.

For Windows 7 SP1:

  • KB3035583
  • KB2952664

For Windows 8.1 Update:

  • KB3035583
  • KB2976978

(I got those here.)

If you've already approved them, you might be able to decline them and roll them back.

That doesn't block them from the web page, but you might be able to block that page at the firewall.
