Windows 10: Where, When & How To Get It

The official release date of Windows 10 remains unknown to date. With summer almost over, previous reports that pointed to a summer launch have now sparked doubt in Microsoft users.

According to CNET, for the first year that the Windows 10 is available, it will be accessed as a free upgrade to the already existing Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1. Once the first year is over, Microsoft will start selling conventional boxed upgrades.

Although the offer is officially time-limited, rumor has it that there is a possibility for Microsoft to extend the free upgrade version because of certain circumstances.

Those who want to get a feel of the upcoming operating system’s new features can easily do so by signing up on the Insider website and logging in a correct Microsoft account. The website can also be accessed on Download.

Once all steps have been completed, users will be assisted through the download process of the upcoming OS’s technical preview. Plus, new builds are being released almost every day, adding more new features, bug fixes – especially for the issues that were immediately spotted by other Insider users – and security updates, which Microsoft has referred to as “the life of the device.”

These updates will be delivered to Microsoft users nearly “forever” – which is reportedly the company’s move to make sure that their OS steers clear from platform fragmentation. Moreover, this way, their developers become even more capable of reaching a much broader audience as frequently as possible.

Sadly, Ars Technica has reported that this much awaited free upgrade will not be made accessible for Windows Enterprise customers who purchased their licenses through volume license agreements. According to the report, the free upgrade can only be accessed by customers who use Mobile – previously known as Windows Phone – Pro, and Home, regardless of whether they use their devices at work, at home, or for BYOD.
