Anybody using Win7 or Win8 can have a free upgrade top Win10 when it is

later this year. Release date isJuly/August 2015 according to rumours

Just this morning I had a message from Microsoft inviting me to
register to get a free upgrade to Win10.

A "Get Windows 10" icon has appeared on the toolbar of my Win7 PC. If I
click
the icon, I am invited to reserve a copy. When Win10 is released a 3GB
upgrade
will be installed.

Luckily I have a Windows tablet with 8.1 and will certainly update that to
Win 10 as soon as possible as I also will my phone. I will then see how it
works before deciding whether to "upgrade" my Win 7 desktop.
I know two people who bought new Laptops with Win 8 and because both were
non touchscreen devices they have both found them almost unusable. One has
bought an iPad and uses that instead and the other now only uses her laptop
about once a week (so emails to her are now next to useless) and hates it
with a passion.
