Is there an option to opt for this? Or how do you go about upgrading/purchasing it?

If you're part of the Xbox Preview program, go into your Preview Dashboard, where it says Registration, go into that and then click Change. You'll have a couple options.
You can stay with the existing Xbox UI, you can opt-in to the new UI or you can even elect to leave the preview program altogether.
According to the description, they push out updates to those who have opted in approximately twice a week. I opted in last Tuesday, and didn't get my update pushed to me until sometime overnight this morning. So it could be a week or so of waiting before you'd see an update pushed to you.

Ate you getting new BC games soon? Friend at work got sucked into buying halo 1 by eb games for xbox one when he had the old game on his 360. EB games did that.
Early November I think. I have my Gears of War 1 ready to go through again. I guess you can earn new achievements?Originally Posted by Rudy

Smooth, did u apply to be in this programme or were u selected?
For the Xbox Preview Program, you had (still have to?) to be invited in by someone already in it. I think Beatn invited me in last year.
Would you be willing to send an invite (assumng it is still available)? If not, no worries buddy. I have you as a friend on xbox1 if it matters. Either way it's all good.
Alright, I invited you. Trying to go off memory here, but I think the Xbox team has to send you a message with a code to download and install the preview Dashboard app and register your Xbox in the program. I might be wrong, but either way I invited you so you should either get some message or some sort of notification in the coming days.
Thanks buddy! Whether I get in or not, I appreciate the effort. Cheers!
Thanks again Smooth! I read online tonight that recently xbox has pretty much stopped invites due to too many people signing up. Apparently there is a waiting list of 100's of people. No preview for me I guess. Thanks anyways though buddy!
Damn, that's a shame.
Well, if anything maybe they'll open it up again in the future and you'll get an invite to pop up one day.
New Xbox One Experience and Backwards Compatibility coming November 12th to ALL users.
Yes, some of the achievements are different on the remastered Ultimate Edition and you can get the repeat ones again as far as I know, but I don't think you get new achievements for playing the original GoW1 on XB1 on backwards compatibility.
Tis a good thing. I like the XB1 Experience much better. Faster to get to the things I use.
Yep, I've been enjoying it.
Only issue I had was not being able to format an external drive. It would crash whenever it got to the point of naming your external drive. The update they released overnight Sunday night/Monday morning fixed that.
My external drive is now formatted and I've been reinstalling digital games nonstop since middle of the night Sunday night. Still got one or two yet to go. And then it's on to my disc-based games.
Other than that issue, where I had a $100 paper weight for 6 days, I haven't had any problems or major bugs with the new experience.
Don't know about yours, but mine seems slower to auto-sign me on via the Kinect than it did with the old UI. I've found it faster to move left to the Guide and then manually sign on. Not that I've recalibrated it or anything to try to fix it, lol.Other than that issue, where I had a $100 paper weight for 6 days, I haven't had any problems or major bugs with the new experience.
Now it's the waiting game... will NCAA 14 be backwards compatible??? In advance of it being backwards, I am already planning out in my head, starting as a DC for a MAC team. Let the good times role!!!

Burnout Paradise was announced as a title that will be BC.

I know it's probably a pipe dream (I'd love it if it was BC). My question is, why on earth would Microsoft touch that with a 10 foot stick? Will they really make a game that was the center of a lawsuit a game that will work on their new system/firmware?
It just seems like that is going to open up a can of worms, Xbox1 is still making money and Microsoft is still making money so why wouldn't some yahoos go out and sue for some of that money?
I don't agree with suing and that mentality but past history shows it doesn't matter what I think, otherwise the NCAA game would still be made, no?
