July 29 is the day Windows users have been waiting for. This summer sees the release of the much-anticipated Windows 10 operating system, which Microsoft is keen to ensure outperforms the let-down that was Windows 8. The computing giant has been back to the drawing board and emerged with plenty of impressive new features to wow you and your team \u2013 here\u2019s what you need to know before getting started.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

You can get it for free<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

They say the best things in life are free, and that might just be the case with Windows 10. Microsoft has kept its word about making its newest operating system free to access \u2013 at least if you\u2019re currently running an authentic version of Windows 7 or 8.1, its two most recent releases. You\u2019ll enjoy a free lifetime upgrade to Windows 10 provided you make the move within the next year and, better still, it\u2019s an automatic upgrade directly from your existing Windows 7 or 8.1 interface. If you\u2019re running an older version of Windows, you\u2019ll need to make a fresh install and you\u2019ll also need to pay \u2013 the various available versions of Windows 10 are expected to retail starting at $119.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s being launched in phases<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although the official release date is July 29, in reality Microsoft is expected to undertake a phased launch. This means that you might not end up using the brand new Windows 10 on July 29 itself \u2013 instead, Microsoft is likely to make the new operating system available to desktop and laptop users first, and only later to mobile and other devices. What\u2019s more, the firm already has its next move in the pipeline. Upgrade and update plans for Windows 10 are anticipated to be on the way in two phases, in June and October 2016. But we are expecting these changes, codenamed Redstone, to come in the form of more minor tweaks to the Windows 10 infrastructure rather than a full overhaul.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s the last you\u2019ll see of Windows<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Microsoft has made no secret of the fact that it sees Windows 10 as the operating system\u2019s final release. But that\u2019s not quite as ultimate as it sounds \u2013 this is not really the end of Windows. Instead, what we\u2019re seeing is the transition of Windows from a product to a service. Microsoft envisions a future where, instead of major new versions of Windows emerging every few years, there are regular improvements and updates \u2013 far beyond the Windows Updates that we know at the moment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s likely that version numbers will come to play far less of a role in system updates in the future \u2013 in much the same way as mobile apps operate, we\u2019ll instead settle into enjoying a frequently updated service that incorporates the latest features Microsoft has developed. And while some have expressed fears that this could lead to home and business users being tied into a subscription model in order to stay up to date, Microsoft appears committed to ensuring that ongoing upgrades are free.<\/p>\n
