Old notepad is still there, it's just in System32 and you have to disable app execution alias for notepad.exe (apps > advanced app settings > app execution aliases)

FYI, old notepad has a permanent advertisement / notification at the top saying that there's a new version of Notepad available!

I'm not sure if it's possible to get rid of the nag banner. And even if it is possible to get rid of it temporarily, it's probably not possible to get rid of it permanently.

I will find out...

I close the banner on the first run and it never shows up in subsequent run of Notepad
