I understand that windows 7 will now get security updates for several more years. I disabled updates for my 7 when I heard they were forcing moving everyone to 10. I had just installed a new hard drive in my 7. Don't think it could handle 10 and did not want to risk losing my 7. So, now I may want to install security updates to my 7 but wonder if those old updates would still try to force windows 10 on me. Have the old security updates been amended to exclude that feature in them?

I installed a fresh Windows 7 Ultimate at the end of the June and did all Windows 7 updates a month ago. Everything seemed fine after I fixed the bug with updates that did not download or install any updates on Windows 7.
I had about 43 updates and none of them were Windows 10, maybe Microsoft has stopped forcing Win10 for a while. After updating I turned Windows updates off so it does not do anything fishy without my permission.
