You can force the upgrade.Microsoft released it on 29th July.The Notification update can be installed through a MSU file(Windows Standalone-Update File) depending on your OS.Should be able to grab the upgrade Tool and install ahead, although I honestly don't know if you HAVE to reserve a upgrade or not.Also, it is advised to turn off your Anti-Virus and Firewall before installing to prevent possible installation issues.^ This appears to be one of the common issues about the upgrading process. My neighbour also just suffered issues with Windows 10 while trying to install the upgrade.Best part, You'll keep everything as it is like now in your current Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 OS.The biggest change would be the Theme overhaul, everything else feels simular to Windows 7 and the control panel settings feels simular to Windows 8.1.
All that happens is a Black Screen containing the PW Cursor and stay like this forever.

Do you have 100% dpi scalling set? It seems to affect the game too with this version.
I believe you have a year to still get it free.
Correct.From what I've heard, Windows 10 will be supported until your hardware(motherboard or HDD) gives it up.Not 100% sure if this rumour was true. ^I'm sure script kiddies will probably find a way of bypassing it since it's even possible to install Windows 10 over a Pirated Copy. (As we just saw Teru's experience)Just genius this Microsoft fail XD
I think if you have a geniune Windows 8.1 and you upgrade, your license will carry over and you can freshly install it as often as you want. You can download the ISO from Microsoft. License might be tied to the motherboard, not sure
The thing however, it appears I'm unable to play full screen but I am able to play windowed.
I've just checked it with Software such as Jellybean Key Finder.You're getting an entirely new Product Key.It doesn't match with my Windows 7 Pro License Key, I do see the logic behind this since it's an upgrade after all.A friend of mine just told me he was dumb enough trying the ISO just to check if his Windows 7 key would work with Windows 10 too.Turned out it'll tell you it cannot verify your product key.
