Windows 10 is about to install - Any way to stop it?

Question

I've been avoiding the Windows 10 Upgrade to my Windows 7 install, but after a reboot recently, I am now getting the following notice from Windows Update:

Is there any way to back out at this point before I reboot? I would like to hold off for a while until I am sure a few legacy applications can handle it.

Uninstall the update mentioned here and get rid of GWX: http://superuser.com/questions/922068/how-to-disable-the-get-windows-10-icon-shown-in-the-notification-area-tray Then delete the $Windows.~BT and $Windows.~WS folders. I still see that but every time I restart there is no upgrade that occurs. — MC10, Aug 14 '15 at 17:33

Click Start, type: view installed updates. Hit Enter, look through the list for the KB3035583 update. Right click it and click Uninstall

or

If I change my mind, can I cancel my reservation? Yes, you can cancel your reservation at any time prior to installing Windows 10. Here’s how: Right click on the Get Windows 10 App or Windows icon located in right end of the taskbar. Select “Check your upgrade status” Select “Cancel reservation” http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-faq

At the point I'm at, there is no longer a "Cancel reservation" option. http://i.imgur.com/NZGd8kK.png – Joe Aug 14 '15 at 20:24
