Now, there are still some unanswered questions about installing Windows 10 as those that have read my other posts will know I've raised before. That's all you have to do to get Windows 10. The application also states that Windows 10 doesn't appear to have an automatic install - instead you'll likely be given the option of installing as soon as it's ready or at a later date. If you want a confirmation about your reservation, enter your email address, but this is optional. Don't worry, you can also opt out of the upgrade, even if you've reserved it and you won't be forced to install it. The next screen will give you the option to reserve your copy, which will come in the form of a 3GB download - this won't happen till nearer launch. The icon appeared for me recently after I installed a few updates. If you haven't seen it, make sure you're running a legitimate copy of Windows 7 or 8, and downloaded all the latest Windows updates - the one you're looking for specifically if you're not sure is KB3035583. To reserve your copy now, you'll need to access the 'Get Windows 10' application, which has appeared on many users' Taskbars over the last few weeks. This does make sense, although it will also add to the launch date download figures for Microsoft to trumpet forever more.
Secondly, it will allow users who aren't that fussed about the new OS to be notified of its launch and jump on the bandwagon the instant the OS is available.
