how to free up the 6GB of Windows 10 microsoft downloaded without your permission

Microsoft has been silently downloading Windows 10 to peoples Windows 7 and 8 computers even if they dont want it.

Theyve also added some of the "telemetry" features of 10 to 7 and 8 disguised as updates.

Heres how to get rid of the several GB of Windows 10 32 and 64bit(because they cant tell which version you currently have?) from your PC and block the telemetry.

You also need to opt out of the CEIP.

First, go to Control Panel, Security, Windows Update. Change settings. Set it to check for updates but not download or install them. Then uncheck the box for "give me recommended updates the same way i get important updates".

Now view your installed updates. Remove the following updates by right clicking then uninstall.

Now go to Windows Update and check for updates. When they reappear, uncheck them, then right click and hide them, then click ok.

Now go to Start and search for disk. Go to Disk Cleanup. Let it calculate, then when it comes up with "cleanup system files" click that and let it recalculate. Check all the boxes, clean and Windows 10s spam icon will be gone and youll get a lot of hard drive space back.

From now on be careful whats in updates.

To opt out of CEIP, go to Control Panel, Action Center, change Action Center Settings and opt out of CEIP.
