Your best bet is to wait for an Official Response from Microsoft. As you know, there are a lot of "Speculations" on the net right now. The update is now available. With all due respect to you, if you're unable to use a search engine to find the download website, are you sure you're ready to install the upgrade right now?
The conventional wisdom has always been to not jump on a major upgrade as soon as it's released. Let the early adopters and corporate testers discover the problems that the upgrade can cause, and let Microsoft have some time to fix them.
Nothing made by human beings is perfect, and with something as complex as an upgrade to Windows, you can practically bet the farm that something s will go wrong. Moreover, with Windows 10 Microsoft is managing the upgrade process much better than with earlier versions of Windows.
Microsoft sends out upgrades in waves, then waits for telemetry 'feedback' from upgraded devices to learn how well or poorly the upgrade is working out. Microsoft can fix problems or try to in successive waves, and even avoid sending the upgrade to certain devices if the telemetry identifies configurations that fail when the upgrade is applied. It takes several months to upgrade all Windows 10 devices. If you have the Professional version of Windows and, like me, you don't want your computer to be included in those early waves, you can delay receiving the upgrade for a time that you chose.
For me that's 90 days, so I won't even be a candidate for upgrading until that time has passed. I think the wisest course is to wait until the upgrade comes to you. By the time the upgrade finally shows up at my modem, I'll be ready. I admit that my approach is not as exciting as getting the upgrade on the first day. On the other hand, I don't have any of the problems people rage over in this forum, when they complain how Microsoft 'destroyed' their computer, how about a class action lawsuit, etc.
