How to delete the windows.old folder

To delete this folder, use the Windows Disk Cleanup tool. On Windows 10, click the Start button, search for “Disk cleanup” in the Start menu, and launch the Disk cleanup application. You can also right click the C:\ drive in File Explorer, select Properties, and click the “Disk Clean-up” button under the General tab.
Click the “Clean up system files” button. You’ll see “Previous Windows installation(s)” appear in the list, and Disk Cleanup will tell you how much space those files are taking up. Check that option and use Disk Cleanup to wipe the previous Windows system files away. You can also use this tool to wipe other unnecessary files taking up space on your system drive.

There’s no downside to removing the Windows.old directory. As long as you’re happy with your current Windows system and don’t want to downgrade and as long as you’re sure you have all your important files and don’t need to grab a straggler from the Windows.old folder, you can go ahead and remove it.
Windows will automatically remove the Windows.old folder a month after you upgrade, anyway. All those PCs that upgrade to Windows 10 will eventually have the space used by the Windows.old folder freed up, even if their users never noticed the Windows.old folder and don’t know to use the Disk Cleanup tool.

How to turn off/disable forced updates in Windows 10

Windows 10 PCs automatically check for updates and install any updates they find. You can take some control over this and have Windows 10 install updates on your schedule, but these options are hidden. Professional, Enterprise, and Education editions of Windows 10 have access to group policy and registry settings for this.
There’s actually an option that will let you choose how updates are installed on your own schedule, but it’s buried in Group Policy. Only Professional, Enterprise, and Education editions of Windows 10 have access to the Group Policy editor. To access the group policy editor, press Windows Key + R, type "gpedit.msc" without quotes into the Run dialog, and press Enter.
Navigate to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update.
Locate the “Configure Automatic Updates” setting in the right pane and double click it. Set it to “Enabled”, and then select your preferred setting. For example, you can choose “Notify for download and notify for install”. Save the change.
Visit the Windows Update pane, click “Check for updates”, and then select “Advanced options”. You should see your new setting enforced here. You’ll also see a note saying “Some settings are managed by your organization”, informing you that these options can only be changed in Group Policy.
 To disable this later, go back to the Group Policy editor then navigate to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update, locate and double click on “Configure Automatic Updates” setting, and then change it from “Enabled” to “Not configured”. Save your changes, visit the Windows Update pane again, click “Check for updates”, and then select “Advanced options”. You’ll see everything change back to the default setting. Windows Update only notice the setting change after you click “Check for updates.”
