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,

Testing Win10 takes no special skills.
All MS wants you to do is install it, install the programs you usually use on your PC and then agree to provide/allow feedback.
However, if you don't have a PC that you can dedicate to Win 10, DO NOT install it.

If you’re not actively using the Windows 10 “Insider Preview” right now, this has absolutely nothing to do with you ... and the “Get Windows 10 Now” button just signs you up to get the release version of Windows 10 when it is released.

OTOH, if the phrase “Build 10122” means something to you, this matters ...

Same here I have that little Windows icon to download 10, but I will wait until I get reviews or something. Will it be worth it? I do like Windows 7. I hate Windows 8.1..ugh

the task bar icon is an alert to get you to reserve a copy of RC W10. It will not install anything. It will schedule about a 3gb download for installation after July 29. in any case, figure out your backup strategy cuze you want a full back up of everything off of your system.
