Can I stop Windows 10 from installing?

Also, change your update settings to look like this for now,
Make sure you uncheck that box for getting recommended updates the same as important.
And the top option change to check but let me choose to download.
That won't make a big difference right now since you probably already have it downloaded if it says it will install.
We'll get to that shortly though.

Along with the other suggestions you should immediately backup everything on your PC including creating a backup image of your PC with a program like Macrium Reflect (Free) just in case you run into problems.
