14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has just announced that the new Windows 10 will launch on July 29 for users across the world, so those on Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 will be allowed to upgrade to the new operating system starting the same day.
Terry Myerson, head of the OS unit at Microsoft, has confirmed today that July 29 is the date for Windows 10, adding that anyone who purchases a computer running Windows 8.1 between today and late next month is already able to reserve the free upgrade to the new OS.
“On July 29, you can get Windows 10 for PCs and tablets by taking advantage of the free upgrade offer, or on a new Windows 10 PC from your favorite retailer. If you purchase a new Windows 8.1 device between now and then, the Windows 10 upgrade will be available to you and many retail stores will upgrade your new device for you,” Myerson announces.
Starting today, Microsoft is displaying Windows 10 upgrade notifications on computers running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, so users running any of these OS versions can reserve their free upgrade and will be notified when it becomes available.
Microsoft is yet to confirm pricing for Windows 10, so it remains to be seen if the information that was published by Newegg this morning is accurate or not.
