Seeing this notification indicates that your Windows 10 upgrade will take place at the time indicated unless you select either "Upgrade Now" or "Click here to change the upgrade schedule or cancel the scheduled upgrade". If you click OK or Red X, the upgrade is all ready and you do not need to do anything else.
If you close this pop-up window, your computer will be upgraded at the scheduled time.
