Windows 10: Uninstall the Download Notifier from Windows 7 and 8.1

In a previous article, I talked about the Windows 10 Download Notifier for Windows 7 and 8.1.  This application runs in the notification area in the taskbar, and performs two main tasks:

• Allows you to reserve a copy of Windows 10.
• Checks your system for Windows 10 compatibility.

Here is some more information about it from Windows Update:
