Opting out -- meaning keeping Windows 10

OK all the snark about FOSS, Linux, etc. is all well and good (and even expected, these are the El Reg forums, after all). And I actually do have Linux on my main machine. But my music machine requires Windows (well, the machine itself by no means requires Windows, but the applications that run on it certainly do). It is an 8th gen i5, and so may well be in the crosshairs of a Micros~1 forced-march into their revenue stream.

So let me rephrase Tom Chiverton 1's original question:

How do I opt users who must remain Windows users (may ghod have mercy on their souls) out of this "upgrade"?

_{Easy on the snark, and heavy on factual, useful info, please...}
