If you just rather keep your old version of Windows and want to remove the Windows 10 banner, here is how to do it and it just requires you removing a windows KB update item KB3035583. Once you remove the update and re-boot the computer. The banner should be gone and you should be able to go on with your life without the regular version of Windows.
