Windows 10 Update; Release This July Free For Windows 7 And 8.1; Features Includes Improved Start Menu, Insights And Tell Me

By Staff Writer

Windows 10 will have a worldwide takeoff on July 29 2015. Windows 7 and 8.1 users will have a free upgrade to Windows 10 (Home and Pro edition). Information about the next-generation operating system is gradually being uncovered with an enhanced Start menu enthused by Windows 7 and Windows 8 Live Tiles. Microsoft is also handing the users an introduction with its seven versions: IoT, Mobile, Home, Enterprise, Professional, Mobile Enterprise and Education.

Since Microsoft started submitting reservations of a free upgrade from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 last month over a pop-up note in the Windows notification center, users must reserve their free upgrades by now. According to IT Pro UK, if users will not upgrade during the year, they will be rushed to pay £100.

In a way, PC World reminds that all Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 users can acquire the Windows 10 (Home and Pro) free upgrade for a year prior to its launching date taking into account its real price of $119 afterwards.

We can expect a new Start menu intended to accommodate touch and mouse users as it is integrated with a combination of the old Windows 7 and Windows 8 Live Tiles.

Unlike Windows 8.1 that has only five versions, Windows 10 is now ensured to have seven versions, including IoT, Mobile, Home, Enterprise, Professional, Mobile Enterprise and Education. Moreover, Outlook will cling more to its counterpart apps. Added to that, the new features, Insights and Tell Me will allow you to search the internet from the Office and will let you build search-based command prompts in turn.

Microsoft also pitched some fine points about the touch-focused Office 2016, like enhanced transformations for Outlook, Word, PowerPoint and Excel. As all might anticipate, applications such as Word, Excel Universal and PowerPoint are still designed to work on Windows 10 laptops, phones and tablets. Likewise, it is probable that Office 2016 will collaborate with Windows app correspondent on OneDrive, as mentioned in Tech Radar.

Windows 10 Pro will be unveiled on July 29 as Education and Enterprise edition is on August 1.
