Have a look at this SevenForums thread:

There may be a similar thread on EightForums.
You may want to start at the last page and work backwards until you come across a recent "complete list.
Every month you have to check if MS has tried to slip the W10 update into your list of updates, before you update your machine.
Can you reinstall W8?
Can you use a backup image to restore your system?
If yes, perform the reinstall/re-image and then make sure to skip the updates mentioned in the thread (above).
What happened is during a period of absence Windows 10 loaded onto my laptop tgen l can find stuff so l did restore to W8 and everything is fine again except these pages keep showing up to downliad W10 l'll do what you have said when l get home Thank you so much
Are your using IE at all? MS added a little something to the latest updates for IE that bring up 10 spots! Windows patch KB 3139929: When a security update is not a security update | InfoWorld
Nice little trick by MS in going to further promote 10 knowing people will be wanting to get rid of the 10 app now seen in it's second generation. Get Windows 10 Icon - Remove from Taskbar in Windows 7 and 8.1 - Windows 10 ForumsMicrosoft buried a Get Windows 10 ad generator inside this month's Internet Explorer security patch for Windows 7 and 8.1
You can go even further by the Group Policy Editor as far as disabling the "Upgrade to the latest version" feature as well as a reg mod available for download in the guide found here at 10F. Upgrade to Windows 10 Update - Enable or Disable in Windows 7 or 8.1 - Windows 10 Forums
Thank you so.much l appreciate your help
On two separate machines both seeing 10/7 dual boots the 10 App second generation slipped right past one day after having hidden the "KB3035583" update! That's the number of the update for just the 10 app itself. I had a few suspicions about another that didn't pan out however when the upgrade by update didn't go through! With a new 7 VM I have to put the same things into effect as well.
