I found a link on the official Microsoft site for direct download, helps those that are still waiting for the invitation to download from the taskbar.

Download the tool for 64bit or 32bit. Home and Pro versions, also N versions also. Upgrade or iso version for clean install, although for clean install product would be needed. (this is given after upgrade)

Options available are

Upgrade now and direct ISO File download

You cant install via ISO, first you must upgrade via the link then after upgrade, get your new key for windows 10. then you can install from disc.

You need the serial from the upgrade.

YOU MUST UPGRADE FIRST.

I have already downloaded the ISO and is fully working, below is an image of the upgrade downloading now.


EDIT:

Clean install from USB.

You don't think this is a disservice?
If you haven't received the notification yet, it is because the WU utility has deemed your system incapable of running W10.
I'm expecting a run of stupid questions now, wondering why they have issues.
 
No........................ actually mine says all is well and capable, i haven't got the notification because its being released in waves.

I thanks your post, but you sir are in fact completely incorrect and very assuming.

This thing is slow as hell. Why can't they make a bloody P2P distribution. I'd have it downloaded by now and I'd help others in the process...

The notification has been out for at least a month, that is not released in waves. The actual download of W10 is.
I suggest you get some facts before you call others incorrect!

I have not had notification, but that's probably because from time to time I disable updates, I won't bore you with the reasons, I hope my specs are Win 10 ready as I may just give this download a go.
 
Thanks, I had forgotten about updates having to be enabled due to all my machines set to download and then notify.
Of course the updates don't give specifics as to what they are, only general descriptions.
 
I was thinking of grabbing an SSD for Win10, this may come in handy.
 
Downloading 11.5MB for me here.
 
The Download took about 1hr - 1hr 15mins

I only saw a % not an actual figure.

It's in the Important updates section, but it's actually not selected for download if you install updates manually, you have to check the box.

Took 22 minutes for me all up and running, although it will not activate and i knew it would kill my 3rd party firewall even if it did say it wouldn't lol.
 
I don't think its particularly slow, 10 mins for a whole OS isn't too bad.
 
Yeah not long at all, download install for 22 minutes.
 
PSA: if you do
wuauclt /updatenow
AND if you where "unlucky" enough where has microsoft's servers haven't had time to log your HWID then windows 10 WILL Not activate
 
Ok, I recommend an SSD, 2 mins in @ 65% XD
 
i have an ssd ..... i would suspect demand this morning

That was what I thought when I went to the download page.

But the download speed was not slow here, downloaded it in about 2 hours. I miss a way to check its integrity.

LOL!
 
It's downloading at freaking 800 kbps. And I have a god damn 10Mbps line...
 
It's downloading at freaking 800 kbps.
800 "kilobytes" per second or 800 "kilobits" per second? If it is kilobytes then it is OK for your connection.

LOL!
 
kbps has always been kilobits per second...

I just thought most browsers/programs do not report speed in "kilobits" but in often in "bytes", "kilobytes", or "megabytes". Just wanted to clear confusion.

Sorry!

Sorry!

You could probably find a plugin or something to change it, but most browsers do use bytes.
 
Wait, what happened to the activation by upgrade? Doesn't installing via ISO mean that you'll be unactivated?
