Windows 10 is amazing. Your Action Center notifications are also amazing. But soon after you upgrade to Microsoft's new operating system, you'll find that it does something that's not at all surprising: spit out notifications (ads, really) cajoling you into purchasing or upgrading Office. That's one of them above.

Fortunately, turning off ads is incredibly easy. The only tricky part is identifying where they come from, but we've got you covered. The culprit is the new Get Office app that comes preinstalled on Windows 10.
