I've had a few clients call me to help them sign up for Windows 10 Consumer ESU, but I have yet to see anybody with a link to install it yet, including on my own old Windows 10 machine. Has anybody actually seen the process in the wild yet? And, related, does anybody know if there's a way to force the prompt onto a computer which hasn't yet been rolled out?

 
Doing more research, looks like you can't force it at this point. However, interestingly, it appears that one license, paid for however (I have a bunch of Microsoft points I never even knew I had, for example) can apply for up to 10 systems. So it seems that only a single purchase needs to be made per household, as long as they don't mind being logged into the same Microsoft account. I wonder if the updates stop coming if you switch to a local account after registering the PC.
