UPDATE OF 29 JULY : Windows 10 is out and can be downloaded for free Here on Navigaweb I don't write about rumors and rumors, but only about verified and certain things so, speaking of the release of Windows 10, let's say how things are officially: everyone will be able to update their computer for free by going from Windows 7 / Windows 8 to Windows 10 starting from 29 July 2015 .
Many users, this morning, are also seeing a notification appear on their desktop with a popup that warns them about the imminent release of the new operating system and invites them to book the free update to Windows 10, so that when it becomes available for download, they will be able to automatically download and install the new system, before all the others.

Those who have doubts or doubts can reassure themselves about this update and feel comfortable that both programs and personal files will not be touched with the installation .
You can install Windows 10 above Windows 7 or Windows 8 without losing any functionality of the computer and above all without having to reinstall programs and applications.
Those who buy a new PC with Windows 8.1 above today or in the coming months, will be able to upgrade it to Windows 10 for free or ask the seller to do it for us.
Who is not seeing the warning popup on the reservation of Windows 10 at the bottom right near the clock, can make it appear manually on Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 by pressing the Windows R key, then launching on the window Run the command C: \ Windows \ System32 \ GWX \ GWX.exe .
I believe this reservation is more a way of announcing to the less informed that Windows 10 is about to arrive, rather than a real, almost useless reservation of a free product that does not have the problem of running out of stock.
From the booking screen, you can click the button at the top left with three lines and then press on "Your PC is ready" to know if your PC meets the requirements and if there are no problems using Windows 10.

Windows 10 will be full of news and changes compared to Windows 8.1, finally bringing back the most classic Start menu and making the system faster than ever, safer, with a commitment to providing free continuous security updates all the time.
The novelties of Windows 10 are many and we will discover them slowly, but already now, being able to already use the preview of Windows 10 on the computer, we can talk about absolute innovations such as:
- The Cortana voice assistant, similar to Siri on the iPhone, capable of providing personalized voice advice according to the use of the computer, to have a sort of virtual secretary that reminds us of appointments and deadlines.
- The new Microsoft Edge browser, which will finally replace Internet Explorer, whose main features we have seen in another article.
With integrated Cortana, Microsoft Edge will be able to deliver quick results and content based on personal interests very quickly.
- New Office apps included in Windows 10, separate from the full suite of Office 2016 (Office 2016 you can already try it in preview), which can be used well on the touchscreen of tablets.
- Xbox Live and Xbox App built into Windows 10 to play on PC and tablet, streamed from the Xbox One console.
- A new Windows Store of applications which, we hope, will be more reliable than the current one in Windows 8 from which, currently, nothing really serious can be downloaded.
It is with this new video presentation of the new functions of Windows 10 that Microsoft announces the date of July 29th as the official one for updating the computer.
