thMicrosoft has released OPTIONAL updates for Windows 7 & 8.1 that address upgrade issues to Win10.
Obviously, if you don’t want to upgrade to Win10 you don’t need them. Recommend you hide it too.

KB3112336 – Windows Update Client for Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2: December 2015
This update enables support for additional upgrade scenarios from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, and provides a smoother experience when you have to retry an operating system upgrade because of certain failure conditions. This update also improves the ability of Microsoft to monitor the quality of the upgrade experience.
