Windows 10 Started Downloading for Reserved.

[JithinPrasad]

Windows 10 is being downloaded in the Background for those who have reserved a copy.

Check for a Folder - C:/$Windows.~BT (Hidden)

If its downloading in the background it should weigh about 140MB
&
if its already downloaded it should weigh 6GB
Just check for the folder and its size. if its there,
Your System has started downloading Windows10.

**Dont try to open any files in the folder. it should be enabled once the time comes.

Insider and I have the folder. Currently reading 4.75gb. Did notice performance issues with my desktop yesterday evening. Perhaps it was downloading in the background as everything seems to be running fine today.

I am also an Insider, and currently running the latest 10240, and I have the folder. Does it make sense?
