The windows prompt to register at the bottom right of your taskbar didn't show up on my desktop and laptop until a couple of weeks ago. I clicked on it for the Windows 8.1 laptop and registered. Waiting on the Windows 7 desktop because I like Windows 7 and run some programs I am not sure will run as well, at least at first, on 10.
I only crank up the laptop every few days so will check this weekend to see if 10 has downloaded yet. I doubt it since I think they are first downloading to some special beta group. On a daily basis when I am not on my desktop I use by google chromebook and Kindle Fire tablet which are not affected.

Re: Windows 10 for free?
I had reserved Windows 10 for my Windows 8.2 laptop and it was ready for me to download and install yesterday. I started doing so last night and it appeared to download to around 80% (based on where the blue bar was at) then seemed to hang. I let it go all night and it was still there this morning so did a ctrl tab delete to get out. I powered down then back up and I think it had really finished downloading it but there is a glitch in the bar and it would have never shown that. After rebooting it showed it was downloaded and ready to install which I did.
I have been around long enough to know not to do the express install as that will have you authorizing Microsoft to own your first born make child. I did the customized install. It went very smooth and after just a few minutes of playing with it my first impression is that I like it a lot more than Windows 8.1, but then I like pretty much everything and anything better than Windows 8.1.

Is it really not good to use the express settings? I'm not really sure how to answer some of those things on the customize settings.

Express is ok if you don't mind that you are giving Microsoft permission to see and track everything you do, etc.
