In early June Microsoft shared that Windows 10, along with a brand new browser, will be available as a free upgrade on July 29. If you haven’t already done so, mark your calendars since July 29 is fast approaching. You can reserve your free upgrade now in the Get Windows 10 app. Visit microsoft.com to learn more about how to upgrade. Through feedback and testing of over four million Windows Insiders, Microsoft says they have made great progress on Windows 10. I can’t wait to check it out.
You’ll love the familiar, fun, and productive Windows 10 features, such as:
1. The personal digital assistant goes beyond your phone: Cortana, the world’s most personal digital assistant is now available on the PC (and all of your Windows devices). Now on the PC, you can ask her to find files for you, send an email on your behalf, turn on your music, pull up photos, find apps and more.
2. Microsoft Edge: The new browser for Windows 10, lets you write on the web with built-in note taking, sharing and integration with Cortana. Plus there’s a reading pane for no distractions.
3. Play more: Your games, friends, achievements and more will follow you across Xbox One and Windows 10 devices. Xbox Live is built into Windows 10 giving you access to the greatest gaming community in the world no matter where you are. Windows 10 extends the Xbox experience with game streaming. Play your Xbox One games on a desktop, laptop, or tablet in your home on your local Wi-Fi.
4. The start menu is back! Everything you came to know and love about the start menu is back and integrated with the live tile touch experience.
I’m generally leery about upgrades, but am looking forward to this one. I’ll be so glad to have the start menu back. How about you? Will you be taking advantage of the free Windows 10 upgrade on July 29? Plus, I can’t wait to check out the new browser, Microsoft Edge!

I am on a really old Windows operating system this sounds really nice. I’m sure people will love it!
I am excited to try Windows Ten. I have my reservation already. My son had the trial version of Windows Ten and he loved it.
This is so awesome they are doing this. I will have to tell my mom – she has a Windows computer.
Thank you so much for this. My whole family signed up early but I had no idea what the update for window 10 would include! I’m glad to see you are a Microsoft Blogger too so I know where to come for the latest news.
I can NOT WAIT for this! I missed my start menu! Calendar noted!
Good to know. I think I have 7. I’m a bit behind on these things. 😉
My brother in law (a computer whiz and IT guy) recently shared this information with me and showed me how to perform the upgrade on my laptop. I do not despise Windows 8 but I am all about staying current.
I am so happy to check out this update! I haven’t been on my laptop in a while so it will all be new.
Now this is awesome! I know some people that will be very happy with this! Shooting them an e-mail now with your blog link! [For real!This is awesome}
I didn’t even know about this! I’m glad you mentioned it!
