It’s those three little lines in the upper left, that if you look at them the right way could, kind of, sort of, look like a hamburger. It’s something designers think we should all recognize, but the reality is that many people have no idea what it is. “What’s a hamburger menu?” I hear you saying. The trick, so to speak, is that hamburger menu in the upper left. This will display the “All done for now” status page. If you have a reservation, the option to “Check your upgrade status” will be present. Right-click on the Windows 10 icon in the notification area.

You can happily ignore the icon and get Windows 10 later, or not, when you’re ready. You don’t have a reservation, so there’s no reservation to cancel. If you’ve noticed the Windows 10 icon, but you’ve done nothing with it, then there is nothing for you to do here. I need to point out that you can only cancel your Windows 10 update reservation if you actually made a reservation. How to cancel is not obvious, and there’s a bit of trick.Ĭancel only after the reservation is made Realizing this, and for a variety of other reasons, many people are electing to cancel the reservation and wait to get Windows 10 until sometime well after its release. In reality, of course, it’s only a reservation for a download that will occur when the product is released. Many people jumped at the Windows 10 icon when it appeared, thinking they would get Windows 10 immediately.
