Get Windows 10

(How To) Get Windows 10

Users of Microsoft Windows 7 & 8 will start to notice a new icon in their system tray with the slanted Windows logo informing them of the opportunity to upgrade to Windows 10. No, it’s not a virus or malware, it’s a genuine offer from Microsoft.

Anyone currently using a genuine Windows 7 (with SP1) or 8.1 PC or on Windows Phone 8.1 will have the opportunity to upgrade, for free, to Windows 10 when it is released in July this year.

What is the catch?

None really, Microsoft want to move it’s customer base along onto it’s newest OS. Not all users will get the update notification, for example if you’re using an older version of Windows or the enterprise version, If you have Automatic Update turned off or if your device doesn’t meet the minimum system requirements.
