I'm going to check my laptop but that still has the 10240 build on it so not holding much hope as I'm sure I can't roll straight into it without going from 8.1 first

this is what you get when you click the setup.exe
and this is what you get when you click install now lol

Checked mine and its 5gb, if yours is still empty or only a few mb, then you may not be in the first wave of upgrades.
Its a good idea by MS to have pc's downloading most of the files well before the 29th, it stops servers getting overloaded on release day

my $Windows.~BT folder is 5.96GB
10 July 2015? Oh crap I realised I probably deleted that hidden folder on that day when I noticed folder popped up on my desktop PC with few files but nothing related to Windows 10 so I deleted it.
Been checked my tablet and 2 laptops didn't have hidden $Windows.~BT folder.
Guess I will try to create new folder with that name and see if it start downloading files.
if u haven't got it then maybe your not in the first wave

Win 10 VM seems to be the full fat unlocked affair now from the Insider Preview.
Win 8.1 machine has a 6gb odd hidden folder in C:\, boom.

Have the setup files on both my Surface and NUC, but went ahead and reverted back to Windows 8 on the main PC (had been running the 10240 RTM the last week or two very well) using an Acronis backup from just before.
Interesting to see if the files will download today, as I had to do the reservation again after getting set back up, despite doing it before as soon as the option first came about.
Edit - downloading away

I must admit despite serious problems with Windows 10 and the Nvidia drivers getting to play nice together, and some of the UI elements been a little blah I'm quite liking the new OS. Going back to Windows 7 now kind of feels a bit rubbish to be honest, I think I will try and push on more and hopefully we get some proper driver support etc soon. I just need a stable OS and so far it's just not been happening for me whether I let the Windows Updates come through or I completely disabled them.

Just found mine and it is only 3.7gb.

Check your Ethernet traffic, as its probably downloading temporarily elsewhere. Had the same on one of my yokes, and checking it afterwards showed the folder structure reorganised and approx 6GB in size.

Looks like its pulling something down, good call.
Don't think it'll let you 'upgrade' if already on the RTM, as I'd suspect 'proper' activation of your Win8 key has to be done via the Microsoft rollout.
That's the main reason I restored back to Win8 from 10240 on one of my PCs.
You never know though - it'd make things a lot easier !

I'm on 10240 and my PC is sat "Working on updates" after I restarted it.
Andi.
3% so far.
Just read this on my Mac so booted up my PC which had preordered it. Started downloading within a few mins and have an event in the log:
My folder is sat at 140mb at the moment, and is downloading at ~2Mb/sec. I imagine they limit the bandwidth so it isn't noticeable for the user.
