Windows 10 is finally here, bringing the familiar desktop back to the forefront and introducing new treats like Cortana, the virtual assistant, and Edge, the browser that will finally erase those bad memories of Internet Explorer.

Windows 10 is available in 190 countries as a free upgrade for genuine Windows 7 and 8 installations for at least one year after launch.

I’m just a Microsoft fan so see the Windows 10 update and all that.

Microsoft skipped the name Windows 9, as if to distance itself further from the last release. Another tech solutions experts from the city feels that once the mobile version is out, the unified platform would attract a lot of users.

Question: What happens this week? Upgrade files may already have discreetly downloaded onto your PC. More information on Upgrade Your World can be found at http://www.windows.com/upgradeyourworld. More models are coming.

Microsoft estimates there are 1.5 billion people who now use some kind of Windows.

Q: How will Microsoft make money?

The Windows 10 media creation tool is less than 20MB, but you’ll need a blank USB flash drive or DVD with at least 4GB of free space for the Windows 10 installer.

With much talk focusing on Windows 10 for PC, we move on towards Windows 10 Mobile, which has still not been made available. But it hopes to make that up by selling apps and services like Office 365. Windows 10 Tablets come pre-loaded with OneNote for quick note taking. Microsoft says that Windows 10 is already compatible with your hardware, but that’s never going to be completely true due to the myriad of setups out there.

Q: Why does this matter to consumers? (Apple and Google tout similar features in their software.).

Windows 8 was widely unpopular and left customers with a bad view of Microsoft.

After users have checked for compatibility, they would need to reserve their free upgrade.
