Get Windows 10 – More Info
This morning I had a new Windows Logo icon in the Notification Area. It was the GWX update at work.
See below for full pics.
Additionally, Microsoft has posted a Win10 FAQ:
“Microsoft is making Windows 10 available as free upgrade for qualified Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows Phone 8.1 devices. It will be available starting July 29, 2015; people can reserve their free upgrade today.
You only have until July 29, 2016 to take advantage of this offer. Once you upgrade, you have Windows 10 for free on that device.”
FYI on a Win10 Tweak Guide
Yes, there will be a guide.
Release date unknown. Certainly not before mid-August and quite probably early September. This is a big release and I will be taking my time with it.
Given the current condition/quality of Win10 I’m not even sure I’ll be recommending the upgrade before years end. I don’t consider Win10 in beta stage yet.
They have a LOT of work to do.
