Yes; the reservation popup said you could install immediately, or wait until 'the time was good for you.'

The things I am most interested in are these:
- Do we get a valid serial number, by mail or something?
- Do we get an option to download a fully updated ISO to re-install?

I don't relish having installing Windows 7 (I have a CD that was produced JUST before SP1 release, end of 2010), then update it to SP1, then update it with 500 million updates, then upgrade it to Windows 10, then upgrade that to the latest version, if I ever need to reïnstall.

For some time, Microsoft offered full ISO's for Windows 7 through Digital River, but they stopped doing that in Febuary this year.
Windows 10 has a restore system built in where you can make it go back to an unmodified windows installation. So no need to reinstall unless you want to go back to win7.
