Where do you see it?
Bottom right, where you see the network info and such. Same place other update messages appear.
Thanks. I see it now. Is it going to screw up my iTunes library?
Knowing Windows this might screw up everything but your iTunes lib.
As long as it doesn't mess with it and my Linux partition, it will be fine. Trying to fix iTunes on a Windows machine is a PIA.
I would wait a couple of days and first check how well it went for the rest. It's rarely a smooth transition. Software might no longer work, drivers need to be updated... It can be hell if things go wrong.

I tried to get the beta W 10 installed yesterday and it reverted back to my old version (8.1) of Windows due to an error on installing it. It was in boot phase 1 and I'm not sure what exactly screwed me up. It did revert back and I tried to install it again but no dice. I went ahead and reserved my download for 10, and I just hope it installs correctly next time. Everything back up and running, but damn it took a long time to download the 3.5 GB of Windows bloat.

All my software works. Nothing was broken. I am on my 3rd of 4th beta version of Win 10. I did have 1 update that did fail and it automatically reverted back to the previous version.

I got lucky today and downloaded my preview copy of Windows. It says it is build # 10074 Home Insider Preview. Is that what you are running [MENTION=6277]Don Kuykendall[/MENTION]?

Yes....and I noticed I can't set mine to hibernate or sleep....totally goes off...same for you?
I'm still using 7; maybe they felt sorry for me and sent me the update.
So am I. Ha! Win7 on the laptop. Vista on a hand-me-down desktop and Ubuntu 14 on another desktop (also a Hand-Me-Down) My Sister-in-law gives me her broken boxes. I fix them and use them. Ha!

While running Windows updater, got an offer yesterday that stated this machine (desktop w/7) can be upgraded. Once reserved, it sounds like they will download 10 whenever and then we are allowed up to 1 year to implement.
The old laptop runs 7 and the new laptop runs 8.1. Neither of those were made this offer yet while running Windows updater. Who knows what their procedures will be.

I have not had that problem. Mine sleeps just fine. Have not really checked what mode I have it is though. May just be the monitor shutting off. On different computer right now but will check next time I am on the laptop

I did not receive an invite either. I just went to the link and downloaded it. (Gone off looking for the link now)
I am back. Did not take long to find it.
