Microsoft has announced a Windows 10 release date and it’s July 29th, 2015. The Windows 10 upgrade will be available for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 users who have all the available updates installed. If all updates are installed you will start seeing a new Windows 10 icon on the taskbar. The new icon is used to reserve the upgrade to Windows 10 on the release date. When the icon is clicked on it will allow you to register Windows 10. Once you register for Windows 10 you will be notified on the Windows 10 release date to install Windows 10 right away or pick another time to install it. The Windows 10 upgrade is available for free for a year, so you will want to reserve your upgrade now.

We have previously written a guide to get the free Windows 10 upgrade. Our guide will help you upgrade to Windows 10 for free using different options. The guide is useful for those who do not have the available updates installed and do not see the Windows 10 icon on the taskbar.
