Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I had the icon to and reserved my upgrade. I checked online first to see if it wasnt something fake poking its ugly head.

An app that tells you when something is available to download? Doesn't sound much like a "reservation"...:dozey:

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

So Window Preview insiders don't get the option to reserve their copy?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Good question. The upgrade path from Win 7/8 to 10 is clear but less so from the Insider Preview to RTM. I upgraded from a retail activated copy of Win 8 to the Win 10 TP but now am a bit confused on if I have to go back to go forward :(

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

They have previously said that Windows 10 insiders can upgrade to RTM but i still don'y know about my Win 8.1 key.

If you're running Windows 10 Preview today, you will be updated to final release automatically. More upgrade details: http://www.zdnet.com/article/get-win...de-in-history/ …

well I am not going to argue it is just M$ terminology take it how you wish

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

The MS guy tweeted me.

@GabeAul Now that Windows 7 and 8.1 users can reserve their copies of Win10 how do Win 10 insiders reserve theirs?

@Snoopzster No need, you were first in line the moment you installed your preview build.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

So there's a line now?

I guess that must be what you "reserve" a place in. But then again, having to queue to install Windows seems a bit... odd...

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

any particular reason for the arguing of semantics ?

from the link Dave42 posted

so it is pretty clear RC will roll out to those on the insider preview build which in turn will be upgraded to the release version quite simple no need to argue whether there is a queue or not

Those who reserve will get the upgrade as it rolls out those who do not set it up when its available all seems pretty simple to understand. How M$ have worded it is irrelevant :)

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Not everyone keeps a constant eye on IT developments. It's just a mechanism to alert all relevant users that it is coming soon.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

It would have been nice to have a choice to be able to least hide this annoying upgrade icon in my taskbar. :mad:

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Will us who have reserved the update get it before the launch date or will we all be battling for bandwith which will slow down the MS Servers on launch date?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

have you checked start up options?

Select 'Customise' from the up arrow, or right click on the task bar > properties > notification area, and then 'Hide Icon and Notifications'
