I uninstalled KB3035583 somehow it is back and wanting to install Windows 10

But it may come back.

Not if the reservation is officially cancelled. OTOH, it is good to have the Win 10 Pro ISO file.

Here's a funny one. The joke's on Microsoft! My laptop (T510) has the Win10 upgrade icon. When I click on it, this is what it tells me:

Whoa! Since I have the Win10 ISO on a DVD, I decided to try that. Same result if I let it check for updates. But! If I disconnect the Internet cable and use the DVD for direct upgrade of Win 7, it worked just fine. And here's a sample:

The neat thing is, when I put in the Win 7 SSD, there will be no MS attempt to upgrade, because it says "No Can Do." Amazing. Microsoft hoisted on its own petard.

That model came with an i5 or i7 didn't it? Had one for a few years. After a hard drive fail, a display fail, and an inner power short, I was reluctant to try another one. But my W530 has been a good laptop. Hilarious about that Windows 10 message though!

Yeah - it has an i5 cpu. It really was hilarious. First try with DVD resulted in "No" message after I let it connect to check for updates. Then, I decided to try it with no Internet and no connect check. Result? An easy Win10 Pro install - no problems at all. I later read where this is all caused by a bug in Microsoft's upgrade program. Lesson learned - if you have trouble installing, try it with no Internet access.

Have you tried all of these methods? http://www.howtogeek.com/218856/how-do-you-disable-the-get-windows-10-icon-shown-in-the-notification-tray/

No need to try anything else. Installing with no Internet check worked perfectly.

some evidence that Windows 7/8.1/10 "PRO" customers will be treated as priority by Microsoft.

the registry tricks work well.

if we're annoyed by the automatic downloads of 7/8.1-Win10 upgrade option, imagine non-Win10-pro customers getting random updates/restarts unless they completely disable Win10 updates or use tweaks until the computer is in a state/time frame to receive them from the end user standpoint.
