Well, I'm still using windows 7 pro in my laptop, it works well, but I've noticed that I'm loosing HDD space progressively.
Today I've seen a new folder in my C:\ root named $Windows.~BT.
It looks like this has to do with Windows 10 update.
I'll be ready to update in one month or so, but not now, and my problem is that now I do have only 6 GB of free space in my main disk and this folder is taking around 7GB itself...
I guess that those 7GB have been downloading little by little on the background...
My question is: can I move that folder to my secondary HDD without starting to download everything again? is there any way to ask politely the system to stop trying to download windows 10 until I'm ready for it?
Thank you all!

When you update KB3035583 on your OS and 'reserved' yourself a copy of Windows 10, you actually agreed to download it to your computer to make it ready for installation...As you have a full year for free windows 10 it was a bit unnecessary...
Try this:
1. Remove KB3035583 via Windows Update
2. Clear the remaining folders
As you are on Windows 7, where KB3035583 is optional, you will be able to install it whenever you ready, or just do the install manually (from internet or DVD)...

The best part of it is that I did not reserved my copy (as if they would run out of it)...
I'll try that Peter!
Thank you!

You may had configured your Windows 7 to get optional updates the same as recommended...In that case the update was installed and activated in one run...

I don't know if I did that, probably not, but who knows...
Thank you for your recommendations!

Is Ben gay?
PS. For the idiot who is marking my posts as Spam: In the US, Ben-gay is a cream for body pain relief.

Interestingly, this just got picked up by the automated spam detector - I approved it - so it may be that they are getting marked as spam from there.

The automated Spam Detector certainly doesn't down vote posts, as my messages have been.
With enough down votes, I think my name flags a red alert for the Spam Detector.

No, but it may do when someone says "this is spam" and it goes to the shredder?

I wonder why Ben would need that

So you are Ben and your product is successful you have mass distribution and tv spots throughout the 60s and 70s then WHAM! Your product name becomes basically slander in some circles, spam on CP and well all that it is today.
Maybe old Ben can twist it all to his marketing advantage.

It's even worse in Dutch... Ben gay literally means "Am gay" and gay only has one meaning here and it isn't "happy" 
I never heard of it by the way.

Where you do think he gets the cream from?

Of course, the reason you are getting down-voted may have to do with your (unknowingly) offending someone from another country with a statement they interpret as a slur on their national heritage, civic pride, etc.
For example, you may not know that Bengay is the American rip-off of the proprietary French ointment, Benguet, a source of great national pride.
The original Benguet is made only from pigs who have died rooting truffles, and whose bodies have been stuffed with aubergines in the first twenty-fours after death. Their fat is rendered and then simmered in creme brulee for at least three days before further processing.
Authentic French Benguet, prepared in the traditional manner, using only native Algerians to perform the final, proprietary, manufacturing procedures, is fabulously expensive, and considered an aphrodisiac as well as anodyne, vermifuge, analgesic, abortifacient, soporific, etc.

You can have two at the same time: right click on "home" from the menu bar above, and select "Open in New Window"
But I've pretty much abandoned Edge anyway: It is a little faster than Chrome (but not a whole lot) but it's a lot uglier and it's tabs / menu bar take up too much space.
I suspect it won't be faster than Chrome / Firefox for long anyway...
[edit]
I just tried this and it worked: Open a second tab in Edge, and drag the tab off the page - you get the red "can't drop" symbol, but ignore that and drop it on the desktop. You get a second window.
Not where you dropped it, obviously, but...
Now drag the tab back to the original Edge window and drop it on the tab bar.
Yes, that's right, you get a third window with your page in, and the previous window goes to the "new tab" page.

Can it be more complicated?

It's not that it's complicated, it just that it doesn't work right!
In chrome, drag a tab outside and drop, you get a new window with that page where you dropped it.
Drag the tab onto another Chrome tab bar and it slots right in.
I use this a lot for plagiarism checks, commenting on articles, writing solutions - it's really handy to be able to drag google search results to a different monitor!
