[re your computer has suddenly spawned 60 new processes and your
broadband connection is downloading something (something you didn't
knowingly request) from Seattle, Amazon, and dozens of other places, at
a steady 915 KB/sec, and it's been going on for hours - even with no
other applications running]
KB3035583. This puts a small white Windows logo -- the GWX or Get
Windows 10 app -- in the system tray on the right hand side of the
Taskbar.
It's your "invitation" to upgrade to Windows 10 when it's released (as
of now, the official launch is July 29).
It's also this:
"The point of 'reserving' the upgrade is to allow Microsoft to upload
Windows 10 -- probably 4GB or more -- to your PC in the background over
a period of time. It doesn't want to upload the code to 400m (or
whatever) PCs on the same day."
Because customer satisfaction is Job #1 at Microsoft, sometime after
July 29, Borg will make it easy for you to find out - absolutely free of
charge - how much of the hardware and software you've bought no longer
works.
