I've been reading that W10 will probably be Released To Manufacturing
(RTM) in late July. I also read that with Win7, 8, and 8.1, there was a
significant time gap between RTM and general availability — time enough
for Microsoft to fix the really bad problems after the software
"shipped," but before it was widely available.
Finally, I also read that W7 and W8.1 machines will be offered a free
upgrade to Win10 during the first year (starting point not defined).
Now my wife and I have received announcements of a free upgrade of our
two W7 machines to W10. Apparently we can reserve an upgrade, and at
some (undefined) point we will automatically receive a W10 download.
This is all a bit confusing, and makes us uncomfortable (getting a
forced download at some vague point).
Thoughts, anyone? A good idea? Is W10 really ready? Impact on drivers,
etc? What about Sea Monkey? General reactions, informed or otherwise?
Thank you for all ideas and advice.

OT for this group but answered briefly.
- KB 3035583 installed the code to offer and reserve Win10.
- Reserving agreed to download Win10 to your device via Windows Update
on or shortly after July 29, 2015 the Win10 General Availability release
date (download 3G will not occur all all at once)
- Win10 will not be installed until you agree to installing it.
