How to prevent Win 7 from updating?

I was spending a week in Las Vegas 7 or 8 years ago and I just needed something temporary during my stay so I paid $100 for cheap laptop with Win 7. I haven’t really used it after getting home, but now I just recently starting to use it in my woodshop to make lists because I don’t have internet out there. I have a tablet, but its too small and hard for me to see plus my fingers always press more buttons than I want causing waisted time trying to figure out what happened.

Well, it won’t let me do anything until it updates and is stuck on update 4 of 7. I just don’t care about any updates because it worked OK back then and I will not ever be hooked up to the internet. All data created on this will be transferred to my current computer via flash drive. I can’t figure out how it got to update 4 anyway without internet.

So how do I stop all updates and just go back to taking notes?

Obviously it's been connected to the internet at one point to download the updates.

Follow the instructions here to disable updates.
