Microsoft told us: "For individuals who have chosen to receive automatic updates through Windows Update, we help upgradable devices get ready for Windows 10 by downloading the files they’ll need if they decide to upgrade.

    "When the upgrade is ready, the customer will be prompted to install Windows 10 on the device."

    In other words, if you are patching via Patch Tuesday, as you should of course be, then you are going to get a big hefty folder on your hard drive ready so you can update to Windows 10 on demand.



Killerhurtz:

I'll be honest - aside from the privacy-conscious user, I see no reason why people shouldn't upgrade to Windows 10. I've been using it for what, a month now? And I still discover features it has that I just plain love.

Windows 10 is a great-looking, fantastically-working OS - if "half of the Windows version sucks" (95, XP, 7 VS 98, Vista, 8? 8.1?), then yes - while I found Windows 8.1 to be quite a decent OS (on par with 7), Windows 10 actually follows the curve (or breaks it if you count 8.1 as the decent upgrade to follow the curve) by being a LOT better than 7 and 8.1 both.
