Woah... 
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

You have to expect this sort of chaos when to mandate that the entire country must go on holidays in the same week of of the year.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I run Win8.1 and I regulate the installation of my Windows Updates. I tell it to warn me so I can go through them.
I originally hid KB3035583 -- which has only the function to run the GWX.exe (Get Windows 10 annoying icon).
However, Micorosft has installed KB3035583 two more times on my system even though I have that item hidden.
I know WinX is inevitable. This is really annoying.
Every time it takes an uninstall of the update, then a reboot then a hide of KB3035583.
Terrible, again.
Seriously, what reason would they have for being so intrusive? Do they really believe they own my computer? I think they do.

Seriously? Install the update.
Win10 isn't good - it's still ugly as sin and not as "together" as Win7 was - but it's a lot better than Win8.1.
I know, I know, that isn't difficult. But trust me: update and it's immediately a better system.
Just do a backup first so you can go back...
From Win7 to Win 10 is another matter - that takes planning and thought. But 8.1 to 10 is easy.

Thanks for the info. Mostly I'm just lazy.
Like I said, I know this is all inevitable.
Microsoft, you pwn me!

No. Never update; always do a fresh install. And never with the early version of anything.

Thanks for the tip. As a result of your tip, I am downloading Win 10 as an ISO in case I decide to switch later.
One thing the MS documentation is not very clear on: Apparently I will be prompted for an installation key when I do a fresh install. I assume I can use my Win 8.1 key, so I won't have to buy a new key, as long as I install on the same machine that the key applied to?

No. You have to update first. At that time Microsoft will store a hashed key (hardware cofig) of your system on a server somewhere. Then when you do the fresh install it will know you are already annointed to use 10 and off you go.
I've a had a new machine since just before 10 was released ready to put 10 on. Still no OS what so ever on there as I can't be arsed to faarrrkkkk around with Microsoft's sh*t just yet.

AFAIK, you have to do the update first - if you don't, it wants a licence key you don't have. Updating gives you a system specific key stored in Redmond, and which will be applied when you subsequently wipe and re-install.
Otherwise Windows XP and Vista users could get the upgrade for free, and MS don't want that!

I expect my MSDN subscription will get it for me free anyway. 
But I'll give it few years to settle in.

I'd backup my system, update it, and then restore the previous version. That way, your PC is ready registered at MS as "free upgraded" and a licence issued. When later you need to install a fresh win 10, it's ready to go, even if the "free upgrade period" should end.

I suppose I could do that on one of my Win 7 systems, but probably not my primary one.
Getting OpenVMS 8 onto my HP Integrity server is a higher priority for me.

The only issue with that is that it's so cumbersome to get the activation done if not upgrading. Else it's an automatic activation if you upgrade from anything W7 and later.
Of course if you bought a new W10 (or got it packaged with new hardware) it would be a different matter, but an upgrade is designed to be upgraded. They didn't design it properly to be re-installed.
