Q: No declining Notes upgrade on iOS 10?

Since I own a mix of old and new Apple devices - specifically an original iPad running iOS 5.1.1 - I am currently not interested in upgrading the Notes app on iOS, so as to keep interoperability.

 

When upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 9 last year, I declined to upgrade Notes. However, after upgrading to iOS 10 (currently 10.0.2) and opening Notes, I was surprised to see a prompt to upgrade WITHOUT an option to skip or decline. I am currently stuck on this prompt screen with no way of even seeing my iPhone notes, unless I click "Upgrade Notes" which I am hesitant to do at this time.

 

Is this lack of a decline option normal and are you forced to upgrade Notes on iOS 10 now? Or is there any way around this?

    I clicked upgrade and my original notes were all still there (these were synched with my Microsoft Office Outlook program originally).  Just checked this out on my iPad which I remembered I'd not opened Notes on since I got it, and the same, all my original notes are still there.  Note though that none of my stuff is in 'the cloud' all is synced to and from PC.
