Huh? I don't have it.
I just checked my laptop and a PC at my office: Win 7 Home on one, Win 7 Ultimate on the other. There is a "Get Windows 10" icon in the lower right (part of the task bar). It I say yes I "reserve" a copy which which will be available July 29 (or later). It says it is free on both my Home and Ultimate versions.
Yesterday I booted my W7, after a month, and first it did 8 patches, rebooted, 3 failed, I changed the partition boot flag, updated again, succeeded, got 20 more updates, rebooted four times, got 3 more updates, rebooted, another two updates, rebooted... plus updated some third party tools (firefox, flash, java, acroread, etc). Took me about six hours to do with an internet connection as fast as possible (faster than my WiFi, that is).
But it never mentioned updating to W10. I suppose it means paying.
but I'll wait until I do a full drive image, as well as partitions. You can never be too careful with anything from Microsoft.
Nope :-)
Agreed, but right now you are just reserving a free upgrade. What I read is you have to authorize the actual upgrade later, after Win 10 is released. I don't know if I will upgrade, but I did do the reservation so I would be able to for free.
