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.
That is for the first year after the official launch date of July 29. After that you have to pay, either by buying an OEM-version with a new PC, or the packaged (upgrade-)products.
I just did updates (twice) on a recent non-virtual Win7 Pro for Refurb PCs installation. It has no upgrade to 10 icon on taskbar or desktop or in control panel.
There also seems to be a check whether the hardware meets some minimum criteria. But I do not know exactly what they are. If these are not met, you will not get the offer for the free upgrade.
