Yeah, no. The force upgrade is a dialog box with a countdown timer. In my case I closed it by clicking the upper-right "X". It counted down off-camera and then closed everything and auto updated.

When the 'accept' dialog comes up it'd already been grinding away for 1/2 hour. I've cancelled MS installs before and there's always sh*t left behind.

Hmm. I'm still running windows 8.1 and never saw that. I've had the annoying countdown plenty of times for normal updates. But never for upgrading to 10. I never customized anything such as disabling updates or anything.
