Microsoft Windows 10 will be released on July 29

Microsoft Windows 10 will be released on July 29.

The folks at Microsoft have just announced in a blog post that Windows 10 will be released to the general public on July 29. And it will be free during the first year!

Truth be told I was downright disappointed with Windows 8 and like everyone else on the PC planet I was wondering if I did the right thing in moving over from Windows 7.


Windows 8.1 seemed to resolve many of Windows 8’s quirks and issues, and after beta testing the “Preview” version of Windows 10 for quite some time I feel that, in my humble opinion, Windows 10 is the best version of Windows ever. Atleast something that made me happy personally. And I am sure you will be too.

If you desire to upgrade your Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 OS installation to Windows 10 (which I strongly recommend you to do), the upgrade process is quite simple to complete.

All you would need to do is install the “Windows Update” that will be released on July 29 to upgrade your OS to Windows 10.

If you like, you can tell Windows Update to install Windows 10 automatically by reserving your free copy of Windows 10 as of now. Just click the square little “Windows Icon” that would by now be displayed in your task bar. It should look something like this:

After you double-click the icon a box will box up asking if you wish to reserve your copy of Windows 10. To reserve your copy and instruct Windows Update to install it automatically upon its release, simply click the OK button.

For those of you who choose not to reserve your copy of Windows 10 and have Windows Update install it automatically, it will still be possible to update your PC to Windows 10 manually after its July 29 release.

Don't forget to check out Cortana, the world’s first truly personal digital assistant that helps you get many tasks done. Cortana learns your personal preferences, your mood swings and your requirements to provide relevant recommendations, fast access to information, and important reminders. Interaction is natural and easy via talking or typing. 

And the Cortana assistant works not just on your PC, but can notify and help you on your smartphone too if you have the windows mobile 10 OS on your cell phones. 

Oh... the mood swings part was just to get you excited btw... However it comes very close.
