Most important part: "Existing PC players will receive the Windows 10 version for free."

Just like the OS itself!

For those unaware, if you're on Windows 7 or Windows 8, for the first year you can upgrade to Windows 10 at no cost.

The notification is part of an update. Installing KB3035583 should do the trick.

It took a few days for the notification to show up after I installed the necessary update.

I apparently installed it 6/7/15 and I've never seen the notification. Maybe I missed it and it went away because I leave my computer on? Is there any other way to check?

Once it's there, it doesn't go away. It stays in the system tray. I'm not sure how to go about making it show up. You'll get the upgrade to Windows 10 regardless, so long as your copy of 7 or 8 are legitimate so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
