Windows 10 free upgrade

So I just noticed the Windows 10 free upgrade thing on my taskbar. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it a clean wipe type of upgrade or is it a junky upgrade thing.

There might be an option during the installation, but you'll at least be able to upgrade with most things kept if you so desire. How exactly a truly clean installation will work with this free upgrade is not yet a known thing.

Thanks, I'll wait for more information before doing anything. Feels really sketchy right now.

yeah its windows thingy, to remove uninstall update KB3035583

I've taken a look at this, and i can say its fishy the way its done; just because ms took away rights from admin to write to GWX files or remove them etc... you'd need to audit and take over ownership of folder/files in order to steal away rights again. I don't like this, this makes me feel uneasy about windows 10. I'll have clear install of windows 7 and let him play to see how it plays out.
