Today it’s launch day for Windows 10. Below are the options to download the Windows 10 OS from Microsoft.
– Using the Windows 10 upgrade notification program.
You have no clear control over this, as it’s scheduled to download in the background and spread these downloads in waves.
– Using the Microsoft Partner Portal
The ISO of roughly 3.5GB is available for download for Microsoft Partners, on the Microsoft Partner portal.
– On the download site of Microsoft
Luckily, the download site seems to be live.

Update: 11:20 CEST
You can track the download of the Windows 10 upgrade notification and reservation program in your task manager on the network adapter (wifi or LAN)
When you’re confident it has finished and there is no activity for a significant amount of time you can trigger the setup of Windows 10 manually using:
C:\$Windows.~WS\sources\Windows\setup.exe
