Considering it's more different from 8 than 8 is from 7 it's probably justified

same here once reserved : no pop up just the icon as a reminder.
An easy solution to get rid of this is to run Ccleaner, go to "Tools" -> "Startup" -> "Scheduled Tasks", check the "Advanced Mode" box, then disable all entries containing GWX. Don't "delete" them, as this will trigger another of those "updates"...

The feature I anticipate most on windows 10 are the Workspaces. Aside from this to be honest there are no groundbreaking changes compared to windows 8.

If you don't want to see the Windows 10 upgrade nag, Tweaking.com has come up with a script to disable it. FYI - There's more to it than just uninstalling KB3035583 (there are two more KB's plus two items in Task Scheduler). MajorGeeks.com has posted the details plus a copy of the script that you can download here.

That's great, didn't even know about that.
How does it behave with multi-monitors? Do I still need Ultramon or Dual Monitor Tools?

I have loads of genuine Windows 7 keys from my old TechNet subscription. These span the various different versions, too. As I have 10 keys for each product, that's a good 50+ keys I've got.
Unfortunately, I can't just plug these into a form on their website and reserve W10. I have to install W7 and then change the key each time and activate to reserve the copy of W10.
I also have to install the version of W7 for each key, too. While I can do all this, it's really laborious and time consuming, so if anyone knows of a quicker way of doing this let me know!

Clone some virtual machines, then just change to correct keys and activate?

Oh yes, I don't even have to do that though. I just click on change product key and I should be able to re-activate and register.
It will probably require 50 different email addresses too... doable with disposable addresses, but just time consuming and a pain. From the FAQ, it's linked to your PC, which is why they tie it like this. And following on from that, does it mean that one's retail W7/W8 key then becomes an OEM copy tied to that hardware only? I'd be surprised if Microsoft were that sneaky though, although they wouldn't be breaking any laws as they are giving us something free.

I think it checks against motherboard.
All upgrades are OK, as long as the motherboard is the same (can be changed if repairs are needed, but to the same model).
Someone correct me please.

Already showed up on my laptop...Was sitting here surfing TPU and I noticed something pop up by the time and date.
Seems I am being prompted to take on Windows 10 through my Windows 7 OS.
Anyone else seeing this yet?
Of course it seems this just reserves a copy, but I wonder if it is even worth bothering to pre-register for it, when it is supposedly free when it does go RTM.

I have Win 8.1 and 7 running on two machines, right now.
No little Windows icon, I am looking forward to it. Really?
How about this Windows, flood the market, TV, Radio, Internet Blogs and such but, Don't reach out across my Internet and ping me with some icon!! Creepy!!
I can, and always do, make up my own mind. So, yeah, don't spam everyone with this...I might just Linux the fuck out!!
I wish more people were Penguins, I think Microsoft would be a nicer word if there was more competition. As it is now, it's said out loud with distaste. No?

You are posting something that EVERYONE in this thread is well aware of, if you bothered to read the whole thread then you wouldn't have had to waste your time posting old news.

I agree. I used Ubuntu for a while at work which was good for basic things. But, having been brought up on the Microsoft ecosystem, the time investment needed for me to reach the same level of productivity/competence being Penguin as I am on Windows just wasn't worth it to me.

Heck, that's worth it just for the W7 licence alone. A PC like that is still perfectly good for internet and email. I'd upgrade it to 4GB RAM though, as 64-bit W7 really thrashes with 2GB.

They should, but at least two computers (local to me) have an up-to-date Windows 7 PC with a valid product key, product key sticker, etc. These computers still have not gotten the Windows 10 update icon.
I have also been reading that Windows 10 wont use product keys.
