Windows 10 releasing on July 29

Microsoft revealed this morning that Windows 10 will be released to customers on July 29, 2015 as part of a free upgrade offer and with new PCs. This date is when the free upgrade promotion for one year begins.

Microsoft has also started deploying a software-based reservation system so that current Windows users can automatically register to receive the free update on their existing PCs.

Starting today users of eligible systems will start seeing an Icon in the taskbar of Windows 7 and * workstations.

We DO NOT recommend anyone who uses their PC for business applications sign up for this program. It is imperative that your business critical applications be tested prior to migrating to Windows 10. If you do reserve your copy now your system will automatically download a 3GB setup at some point prior to July 29.
