OK, Ed Bott of ZDNet has posted a couple of reg files, DisableOSUpgrade.reg and DisableGWX.reg. Download them, double-click them, and they will change the registry for you.
See: How to block Windows 10 upgrades on your business network (and at home, too) http://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-block-windows-10-upgrade...
The two small text files are at https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=!APe8Z7RJNVNc0uM&id=FEA7E...

After that, uninstall KB3035583 (choose to reboot later when prompted), then run the Disk Clean up tool and select the Clean up system files after the initial scan. Select the Temporary installation files for deletion. Longer version: http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/prevent-windows-10-upgrad...
If you are up to editing the registry via regedit, the key is:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate DWORD value: DisableOSUpgrade = 1
