Free for a year for users ofWindows 7, Windows 8 andWindows 8.1.
It's finally official: Windows 10 will be available on July 29. Microsoft's Terry Myerson, executive vice president of the Operating Systems Group(OSG), released the news on the site Blogging Windows this morning.
Cortana made the announcement on an audio clip voiced, the Windows digital assistant. She said: "Windows 10 will be available on July 29, but you can reserve a copy now.
Can't wait to be on your PC."
Thoroughly Tested
Myerson wrote that Windows 10 has been widely vetted by the public. More than 4 million Windows Insiders have been using beta (i.e. pre-release) versions of Windows 10 for months now, providing feedback on what's good -- and not so good -- in the operating system (OS).
On July 29, Windows 10 will be a free upgrade available to all customers of Windows 8.1,Windows 8 and Windows 7. In that list, you may have noticed that something's missing: Windows Phone. Microsoft didn't say when Windows 10 will be ready for Windows Phone; Myerson said the "initial release" will be for PCs, like standard desktops and laptops, and tablets, like the Microsoft Surface.
