I want to believe the reservation period is over as you had till July 29, 2015 to do that. But like I did, check out the "check windows update" option in the control panel and let it run to see if Windows 10 will be among the available updates for you and then you can check the box by the side and download. Once the download is done, the upgrade will start automatically. Mind you, your computer has to be running on genuine Windows 7 and 8.1 OS for you to be eligible for the upgrade to Windows 10. Otherwise, forget it.

Follow the guide below which I have copied from an available on-line write up.

Windows 8.1
If you want to just download the installation media for a fresh reinstall of Windows 8.1, there’s a new option from Microsoft that can allow you to download that image without even entering your product key.

And if you are completely reinstalling a Windows 8.0 PC you can use this 8.1 installation media with the same key from Windows 8.0, so there’s no reason not to do so. It even comes with Update 1 integrated.

Simply download the Windows Installation Media Creation Tool from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media, and then select the details about which version you want (Windows 8.1 or 8.1 Pro, etc), and then follow through the wizard to create your boot media.

N.B. In downloading the media creation tool, make sure you download the correct one for the right system type for your computer i.e 32-bit or 64-bit processor. To know your system type, simply right click "This PC" on your desktop and select properties. There, you'll see whether it's a 32-bit or 64-bit system type OS.

You can choose to put the boot media directly on a USB drive, or you can create an ISO for later use or to burn to a disc later.

It’s as easy as that.

I hope this helps.
mine is a genuine windows 8.1, it came with my laptop and i havent tried to alter it.... done all my updates, nothing about windows 10.... but i can actually push it out using command prompt ( wuauclt.exe/updatenow) but network has been cutting it shut

In that case, why not try another network. Initially, I tried using Glo for my download, but wasn't getting anywhere. So, I had to change to Swift.

Go to your C: drive, delete $WINDOWS.~BT and $WINDOWS.~WS. If you cannot see the files ensure you enable your system to view hidden files. After deleting try running again.

Delete the files, restart, then run the application as administrator. You can also open task manager and check if the windows 10 setup program then end it.

I'm using Windows 8.1 Single Language with Bing... Which version of Windows 10 iso file should I upgrade?

Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Single Language?

Mine is also 8.1 single language and I went and downloaded windows 10 home now it's asking for activation key before it would install...i later read somewhere that you must install the same version already on the pc..and this stuff took me two days to download >sad
