not everyone will get an upgrade (immediately) however you should confirm that you did the requirements needed such as reserving it and then checking your e-mail

Zefues had the right idea but the link is a little broken, this one should work:

 

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

 

Just download the tool and run it, you can use it on the computer you want to upgrade and it will guide you through the process, some steps will go slowly though depending on hard drive speed and internet speed, so if the circle is still swirling I would let it swirl.

I guess I should have made a note that you can do that even if you have not received your upgrade notification yet, I did that to my laptop this morning, upgraded, and have been using it all day. It's activated and everything seems fine.... besides how long it took me to find the calculator and place it somewhere handy

Huh? Does this also give you your Windows 10 Product key? I thought the only way to get the free product key is upgrading via the system tray windows 10 upgrade program?

I think I will just wait for Windows 10. I'm not in a hurry, but thanks for the link just in case I need it!

I haven't done it myself yet, but my expectation is that you need to take the upgrade first. Then your product key may be valid for a Windows 10 clean install.

 

If you haven't gotten it yet, don't worry. The first people to get the upgrade are Windows Insiders. Next will be people who reserved, probably those who reserved first. If you didn't reserve, you may be waiting several days to a week. This is a free upgrade for 85–90% of the entire Windows installed user base, it's necessary stagger out the updates to divide the load on their infrastructure. It could take a couple of days for yours to appear.

 

Remember how bad SimCity and Diablo 3 were on launch day? Imagine if they had been free for every Windows user.

If you force install Windows 10, be prepared for driver related issues.

Microsoft is blocking the update for those who has hardware that has issues with their drivers under Windows 10.

The "Get Windows 10" app tell you about this, if that is the case. Else it will tell you it is being released in waves in which case, you can wait, or force the update.
