Just to clarify: My Windows 7 netbook with 1024x600 natural screen resolution did not get the update to reserve a free copy and install Windows 10. I made a registry change which allowed me to force a resolution of 1024x768 (which doesn't look that good when you change natural resolution like that, not something I'd want to be permanently forced to keep), and then the MS update for Windows 10 reservation and installation became available.
I haven't installed it on that 10" netbook, but from everything I've read, it should install just fine. And then hopefully I could go back to 1024x600 resolution without Windows 10 having a fit about it. Going back to the lower resolution is the part I wasn't 100% sure about. And since the netbook doesn't have a touchscreen, I really don't feel any need or reason to upgrade to find out, unless there was a big speed gain from Windows 10.
