    Stop “remove previous Windows installations”


    So, from what I understand after 10 days Windows 10 removes past feature updates to "save space". Is there any to turn it off or extend the 10 days? I can only seem to find "how to remove updates" online. I did not see anything in Services that seemed like it would stop windows from deleting the updates and am not well versed in the registry. Does anyone know of any ways to stop windows from doing this?

    Hello Drew,

    You can use option 2 in the tutorial below to set the number of days after an upgrade you are still able to go back to a previous version of Windows.

    Set Number of Days can Go Back to Previous Version of Windows

    Of course, the most reliable method is to create a system image before the upgrade or update to have available to restore if needed.

    Hi Shawn,

    Thanks for the link! I will give step two a shot when upgrading users to 2004.
