windows 10 and automatic updates?

[Andrew1135]

the thing i like about win 7 is that you can delay and choose which upgrades you want to install but i recently found out that you cannot do that with windows 10. the reason why i liked to choose which ones to download was because i have a 250g ssd that i dont want to be filled up with tons of upgrades for things i dont even use. has anyone had the upgrade and can tell me if its decreasing their ssd capacity at all?

I have a 120GB SSD as my C drive....3 years. Win 7, and currently 8.1...soon to be Win 10.
other systems in the house have Win 10.
Updates are not really a concern for drive space.

With windows 10 MS have decided to assume all users are morons who must have everything done for them, and must be watched at all times for their own good.

Not to defend MS, but most users are.

I have a 256 GB and have had Windows 10 since release day. A couple commonly used programs and Windows on the SSD, and have hovered around 95-100 GB free since installation.

You can also set your system restore usage to a low % of disk space - that is generally what eats up space when doing Windows updates or new software installations. I run a disk cleanup every week or two.
