Microsoft releases ISO images for the latest Windows 10 due to problems with Windows Update ... PING!
You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: search on keyword "windowspinglist".

I have a little block on my computer screen that says “get Windows 10 now.” From what you’ve posted, I’m guessing that I should just ignore it, especially since I’m not computer literate enough to do testing and all sorts of technical stuff. Yes or no? Thanks,

I might just sit on it. No way will I risk losing the use of my software. Can't afford new versions.
I can't see how I would gain anything, I was very happy with XP.
If I didn't have classic shell 8.1 would drive me nuts. I don't use the preloaded apps.

"We know that a bunch of Windows Insiders on the Fast ring are currently blocked getting to the latest build due a 0x80146017 error,"
Typical microsoft, as if "0x80146017" has any meaning to more than a few hundred people on the entire planet.

The free version of Windows 10 will not be released until July 29th. While I have reserved a copy to update my Windows 7 desktop, I may be in no hurry to install it until the major bugs are fixed. Normally I wouldn’t be in a hurry to install new Windows versions. I held on to Windows XP until support was ending and did not rush to Windows 8. In this case Microsoft is more quickly ending support of Windows 7 and the upgrade is being offered for free. I guess in August I may either be pleased with the update or have a big case of buyer’s remorse.

I’m telling you, dump Windows entirely and install Linux. You’ll be glad you did.
