In Asia, it is already July 29th and Windows 10 upgrades are rolling out. Images were posted to Chinese forum PCBeta of Windows 10 upgrades becoming available on Windows 7 and 8.1 PCs.
As reported earlier by Zac, Microsoft has begun pre-downloading the Windows 10 upgrade in the background on reserved PCs. The pre-download for reserved PCs happens without prior warning and occurs behind the scenes as hidden files.
