Windows 10 Windows 10 Upgrade Notice

[Ian]

Did anyone else get the Windows 10 upgrade notice this morning? I saw an icon in the notification area and clicked it to find this:

 

[EvanDavis]

Nothing as of yet

 

[nivrip]

Nope.

 

[Ian]

I guess they may be rolling it out in stages, as anyone with 7,8,8.1 qualifies .

 

[TriplexDread]

Release date worldwide apparently is July 29th

Nice, will check when I get home..

Hmmm is it available to DL and install at a later date? I'm not sure I want to install over my current installation of 7 yet

 

[V_R]

Got it, Reserved it. I'd rather do a fresh install, but we'll see how it plays out, You don't have to install it.

Sorry for the ambiguity - I wasn't referring to the choice of upgrade to 10 - but to the no choice automatic updates once its installed - as I read about on CNET. And then of course there is the specter of the ultimate switch to "windows as a service". NOT the path I want to be on.

I hadn't noticed the icon until I read this thread but it was there and I've reserved my copy for this machine.

I shall certainly give it a fair crack of the whip, let's hope it's a goodie and they've learnt from their last 'upgrade'.

As I've mentioned before, I will back up my current Win 7 install using Acronis True Image then if I'm not happy with the newest Microsoft offering I can soon go back to things as they were.

Looks like a win-win situation to me though not too happy if having to have automatic updates is a proviso. We shall see.

Also got to think about all those saved games that are scattered all over the place on drive C.

 

[TriplexDread]

Nothing has appeared on my system yet, however the updates aren't working either. No idea whats going on

 

[nivrip]

I hadn't noticed the icon .

Just where do I look for this icon? Have not noticed anything yet.

Bottom right of your taskbar mate. Where your clock and stuff is

 

[nivrip]

Nothing new there, just the same old stuff.

And nothing about it in the Updates.

 

[floppybootstomp]

First icon on the left there, the 4 section flag.

 

[muckshifter]

for those people who do not yet see any icon/indication in your taskbar, may want to check their 'optional' updates.

Like, this one maybe.


or KB3050265

 

[Anon_F]

Damm i thought it was exclusive.
MS had realised how much i've spent over the years & heard i was thinking of going to Linux?

 

[nivrip]

Downloaded the latest updates about 30 minutes ago and I notice that KB3050265 is one of them. Should I now have the said icon in my taskbar? It's not there yet.

Same here and no icon yet.
