Find the download in "Applications" and double click to initiate the upgrade. I didn't even have an "install" option available to me after the download from the app store was complete.
Got a tip for us?

Yep, I've got a 70Mbps FTTC connection and it is going to take about 8 hours to download.
That's a very good idea! I will do that tomorrow when I tackle the third machine. That would save a lot of time! Yes, I had looked earlier and the OS X El Capitan app is indeed in the Applications folder of both machines in which I've already installed it. Wish I'd thought to have simply done the copying over to the other machine earlier today!
I always thought a clean installation is way better, and most of issues related to upgrades, but I don't want to reinstall/copy all my stuff, so I guess I'll go for the easy way!
So is there any combination of Photos Extensions that make it as useful/usable as Aperture, or is it still a useless POS?
No, seriously...
Is there?

Just updated my MacBook Pro with a Crucial SSD and the TRIM has been enabled. I had it enabled for Yosemite. YAY!
I love Apple's attention to UI detail. Really instills me with confidence.
I have downloaded it four times, but each time it says "This copy of the Install OS X El Capitan application can't be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading." I delete and redownload it but no change. I googled, and the only listed reason is my clock, which is correct. Any suggestions?
Up and running, but somewhat shaky experience so far. No crashes, but split screen/ full screen app doesn't work *at all* (the apps just overlap, with the back most app 'vanishing') - for example Mail and Calendar - and the new Mission Control promptly gets very confused. Photo's app isn't playing any live photos despite dozens shot with new iPhones over the last few days.
As for 3rd party, everything essential working so far: PhotoShop CC, PHPStorm, Scrivener and Scapple all happy...
Wacom drivers got stripped out as incompatible *shrug*
New Safari is great.
* UPDATE - Looks like Photos app has to do some churning to get Live Photos playing. Some of them have started appearing with the 'live' symbol in the App now. I should be more patient

aha! thank you
Oh dear, I had one too many vodkas waiting for this to download, so the heads not quite working LOL Anyway, it says its installing now. Fingers crossed.......
Early days, yet. The vendors have to make such things available. But... check out the animation here. I for one am looking forward to Affinity's offering.
I was able to download it but it didn't install. When I go to the Mac App Store, the El Capitan graphic atop the "Updates" page even says "Downloaded". Nowhere does it indicate where to install it, though, and it won't allow me to re-download. Tried restarting and that didn't get it going.
Under updates it says, "No Updates Available." Below that it isn't listed among the "Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days."

Time remaining is all that matters to me.
CLEAN INSTALL NOT GOING WELL.
From a memory stick created with the createinstallmedia program it gets down to "about a second remaining" during 'preparing to install' and just sits there. After a shutdown and back up the internal drive doesn't even show up as a startup disk option...which makes sense. Booting back up with the memory stick installed just boots back to the stick. Hmmm. Maybe I'll remake the memory stick. I'll just SuperDuper! back to Yosemite if nothing else.
Erasing the hard drive the first time was a little funny too. When the Erase (and Create a Partition) command in DU finished the new partition never showed up in the DU list. It showed up in the installer OK, but then the installer won't finish installing (I'm guessing copying the files). DU did the right thing the at the beginning of the second install attempt.

For me, El Capitan is like getting my car's oil changed. I feel good that I've done it, but I don't notice anything different. Maybe it's time for nitrous.
So does this mean that Apple is no longer supplying system security updates to older versions of OS X? Normally, one would expect them to drop support for 10.8 and continue providing patches for 10.9 until the release of 10.12 based on their past history. However, there's a myriad of patches in 10.11, with the notes saying it's available for 10.6.8 or later (the minimum required to get 10.11), with no security update for me on 10.9.5 as there has been on every major x.0 and x.x release previously. Any ideas if this is true? Or if so, why?
update went well and running smooth. Pity my ad free version of uTorrent doesn't seem to work anymore.
Transmission is way better anyways...
