When I logged into my Windows 7 computer this morning there was a new task bar icon. Something about Windows 10 upgrade. Anybody else see this?

I saw that icon today for the first time. Clicking on it opens a pane that will let you reserve a copy. Apparently, there's a 3GB download that happens in the background.

Same here on my Windows 7. There’s a Windows 10 icon on the task bar to reserve an upgrade. Want more info before I do it.

Yup. Noticed it this a.m. and it stated I could reserve for a free full up version to be turned loose on 7/29. We’ll see as the days go by what some of the “experts” have to say.

It didn't show up on my machine. I run XP. I will do just that for as long as possible.

Yep I got one also, on each of my Win7 machines.

I don't think I'm going to upgrade to Windows 10 since it will put your entire computer on the Cloud. Meaning anyone could hack your private information. A network security guy said putting your stuff in the Cloud is like putting something out on the curb. It's there for anyone to take or snoop through.

Although I use the Cloud only for stuff that does not matter like music.

On the Q&A and link it says:

Q: Will all my stuff be in the cloud?

A: Your files are saved on the hard drive of your device by default. Windows 10 includes OneDrive which provides free storage space in the cloud; this is completely optional, but gives you the benefit of being able to access your personal files from anywhere.
