Yeah, I saw it still there (Win Updates) too but I would imagine there is a fee at this point because the free upgrade ended on July 29. Well, unless they extended it.
I was just glad the icon left my toolbar. For a while, when I changed it to 'hide icon and notifications' it would go into the secondary spot that was basically hidden. But every day, when I started up a computer it would be right back there in clear sight. Then, just the last few days, it finally stayed where i put it. Now it's gone. yay!
(it's the little things with me, sometimes)
You (We) have until July 29, 2016 to upgrade free.

I have good ole Windows 7 and still enjoy using it.
Once I read so many negative reviews of both Windows 8's, I wasn't interested in "upgrading".
Great if they work well for you, though.
Thanks, everyone, for the advice re: Windows 10.
I'll again wait for reviews, and then take everything into consideration.

I'm pleased with Windows 8, I don't want the update right now.

Received notice this evening that my new Win 10 laptop has shipped. I'm hoping it will be easy to configure it the way I want from a clean state.
So far my favorite new feature is the ability to have fully independent multiple desktops. So much potential with that.

Once you go Mac.........you never go back.

I did't think it could get much more annoying than 8 and then 8.1... I haven't gone to 8.2 or 10 and don't plan to. In fact, what I do plan to do is with my next computer lose Windows altogether. They haven't done anything truly better or innovative in a long, long, long time.

I like Win 8.1 and it will be supported until 2023, so I'm going to stick with it. I have no reason to upgrade. New operating systems are always such a hassle.

I reserved Win 10, but did not upgrade yet. Can I wait awhile before upgrading until more reviews come out? Or, will I lose the free upgrade?
