You don't have to wait. Download it from here (if you have more than one computer it may be worth downloading the "ISO" version and writing it to USB stick/DVD).

Please can you tell me whether this is exactly the same from a licence perspective as using the Window Update? Are there any additional risks involved?

Yes it is and no there's not...:)

I was wondering whether accepting this upgrade has any implications on licences - ie) If I do upgrade my Win 7 64 pro desktop - and change my mind, 6 months down the line - will I still be able to reinstall my original Win 7 DVD or will MS deem that my original licence is now updated and as such invalid ?

This is also why I am holding off.

I'm waiting for clear, unambiguous info about this fact.

I have Retail Pro8.1 64-bit, oem Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit and Dell Win7 Home Premium 32-bit.

How many .iso's will I need to download?

1 x 64 bit and 1 x 32 bit

Updated all drivers this morning including Intel HD Graphics Family! Have not tried to shut down yet, will try now and report back! Fingers crossed!

EDIT:

UPDATE! IT WORKED! LAPTOP SHUT DOWN PROPERLY!

Thank you to everyone for your help and input! :T

Whilst the laptop now shuts down correctly. I still have the problem when closing the lid. The laptop will not go into 'Sleep' mode, it seems to just freeze and the only way to resolve is press and hold power button to force a shut down and then restart.

looking at the intel forums , weven they (intel) do not have an answer , however it works lovely in Linux!!!!!

Well that was easy, updated to Windows 10, everything working OK.

Even retained my desktop picture and icons.
