In the end, though, like I said, I'll probably never use that ability, anyway. I wonder if the difference between the allowable days to pause is due to the one being OEM and the other being retail. My desktop (built by me), on the other hand, started with a retail version of Windows 7 Pro, then upgraded with a retail version of Windows 8 Pro, then the free upgrades from that. All of them were done with the free upgrades. My laptop (a Dell) originally had Windows 8 Pro OEM preloaded and was upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro, then Windows 10 Pro and then to the present version of Windows 10 Pro. It was only a question of curiosity as to why one of my computers would show a different ability than the other when they have the exact same version of Windows 10. With that said, and with the initial question asked, I doubt that I will ever use the ability to pause my updates. Guess I should have searched a little more thoroughly.
