Ever since the beginning of this month, Microsoft has been showing Windows 10 upgrade notification on PCs running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 with the latest updates. The notification does nothing but asks users to reserve their free upgrade by entering an email address.
The Windows 10 upgrade notification is delivered through Windows Update service, and the update KB3035583 is responsible for this notification. When the update is installed, an app called Get Windows 10 is installed on your PC.
As you probably know, the Get Windows 10 app not only allows you register for the free Windows 10 upgrade but also includes Windows 10 Upgrade Advisor tool, which helps you check your PC and installed apps for compatibility issues.
Additionally, when you reserve your free upgrade, the Get Windows 10 app automatically downloads Windows 10 installation files in the background (around July 29), and once installation files are ready, it helps you upgrade your existing Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 installation to Windows 10.
While millions of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users have already registered for the free upgrade, thousands of users are not exactly happy with the notification. Many users who plan to continue running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 want to get rid of Windows 10 upgrade notification by removing Get Windows 10 app.
