You can force Windows Update to force the download of Windows 10, that's what I did. This step-by-step process is assuming you've reserved your Windows 10 already.

1. Delete everything in "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download". Don't worry, there shouldn't be any harm done by deleting everything in this folder. All it will do is reset your Windows Update.
2. Open up Windows Update.
3. Open up command prompt (as admin).
4. In the Windows Update window, click "Check for Updates" on the left hand side.
5. In command prompt, enter in "wuauclt.exe /updatenow".
6. Tada! Windows Update should begin downloading Windows 10.

If it fails, try this process again. It failed for me once before it worked right. Some others failed multiple times before it got it right.

Make sure you let Windows install any drivers (or install them yourself) after you get to the desktop after upgrading. It should popup automatically and it should look like the same window that you get when you plug in a new keyboard/mouse/usb drive.
