This will be a gradual rollout. According to the company, they use a machine-learning technology to create the best available upgrade scenario.  The official announcement states:

Current status as of July 16, 2019:

We are initiating the Windows 10 May 2019 Update for customers with devices that are at or nearing end of service and have not yet updated their device. Keeping these devices both supported and receiving monthly updates is critical to device security and ecosystem health. Based on the large number of devices running the April 2018 Update, that will reach the end of 18 months of service on November 12, 2019, we are starting the update process now for Home and Pro editions to help ensure adequate time for a smooth update process.

Our update rollout process takes into consideration the scale and complexity of the Windows 10 ecosystem, with the many hardware, software, and app configuration options users have, to provide a seamless update experience for all users. We closely monitor update feedback to allow us to prioritize those devices likely to have a good update experience and quickly put safeguards on other devices while we address known issues. Windows 10 Home and Pro edition users will have the ability to pause the update for up to 35 days so they can choose a convenient time.

The Windows 10 May 2019 Update is available for any user who manually selects “Check for updates” via Windows Update on a device that does not have a safeguard hold for issues already detected. If you are not offered the update, please check below for any known issues that may affect your device.

We recommend commercial customers running earlier versions of Windows 10 begin targeted deployments of Windows 10, version 1903 to validate that the apps, devices, and infrastructure used by their organizations work as expected with the new release and features.

You can get Windows 10 May 2019 Update, version 1903 manually by clicking the “Check for updates” in Settings > Windows Update. If you are not offered the update, your device must be blacklisted for some reason. Please see this: Microsoft Allows More Users to Install Windows 10 Version 1903.

Also, both Windows 10 Home and Pro edition users can pause this feature update for up to 35 days. This is a new upgrade policy Microsoft is using these days.
