On an Active Directory domain, such as most corporate users have, it doesn't
quite work like that, and automatic updates to Windows/10 don't happen...

If you wait till its activated and then roll back , you can re-install at a

I like Windows/7, always have. I am running the rolling Window/10 previews
on this, so it updates frequently, 
Its like the weather in Manchester (UK). If I don't like what it is doing
today a new build will be along soon and it will behave differently...
