windows 10

Here's a good tip and an interesting personal story. The home button in the web browser is pretty important to me. It's just something I've become accustomed to using and I know many of you do, too. I was contacted recently to join in the July 29th Windows 10 release celebration at an...

Remnants of the Windows 8.1 Start Screen are still present in Windows 10, but provided in a much friendlier, more customizable, and familiar way. Essentially, Microsoft took the best of Windows 8.1, Windows Phone 8.1, and melded it with the familiar streamlined operations of Windows 7. The new...

In just over a week we will arrive at both the end and beginning of the journey to Windows 10. With Windows 10 Microsoft has been more open and released builds to testers earlier than ever before for a Windows operating system beta. They have also established channels of communications for...

Windows 10 will be a free upgrade within 1 year of release (July 29) for select users. As time progresses, though, Microsoft will introduce new features and technologies that will require new hardware. How soon are you planning to buy a new PC? Source : winsupersite

The count down to Windows 10 kicked off in earnest yesterday as Microsoft announced their marketing campaign that begins in the United States today and globally on 29 July when Windows 10 begins to arrive for users of Windows 7 and 8.1. In a blog post over at the Blogging Windows site, the...

With just 10 days left until Windows 10 begins its General Availability (GA) on 29 July 2015 the marketing push is about to crank up the volume. Windows Insiders and those who follow tech news closely already know about GA for Windows 10 and so these final 10 days are a known quantity...

Microsoft will force Windows 10 Home users to download and install updates to its operating system without any options to turn them off. A final version of the OS, distributed to testers this week, contains a clause in the end user license agreement (EULA) that reveals Windows 10 users will...

It's hard to imagine, but there are people out there that haven't experienced Windows 10 yet through the Windows Insider program. Microsoft hopes, of course, that there's been enough grassroots chatter that even the common PC user will want to jump on board come July 29, when the Windows 10...

Microsoft is making its Wi-Fi service for Windows 10 official today. We’d heard the company was working on the service, but now Windows 10 testers will have access to try it out using the latest 10166 build. Microsoft Wi-Fi works by providing Windows 10 users the ability to purchase access to...

The most important event in the history of the desktop will be the end-of-the-month rollout of Windows 10. It will also be one of the most confusing moments in computer history. Because Windows 10 is a free upgrade, the rollout will be a fiasco of epic proportions. The average consumer will...

Windows 10, though scheduled to release on July 29, is still very much a work in progress. Rumors are surfacing now that Windows 10 may hit RTM status sometime this week, but don't take that as a clue that Windows 10 is completely done and the Windows teams at Microsoft are baking celebration...

As you may know, installing an operating system from a USB flash drive is easier and faster than installing it from an optical disc. A USB flash drive is not as bulky as an optical disc and doesn't require an external case. You just take it out of your pocket, pull off the cap, and insert it...

After installing Windows 10, you might be one of those hopeful to see the new desktop wallpaper image Microsoft provided that was created with light, lasers, and projectors, but it's just not displaying for you. Or, maybe you want to turn off the background image altogether because it's just too...

Any version of Windows just performs better on newer equipment. That's a given. But, with Windows 10 so close to its official upgrade rollout, you might be wondering if your old PC can work adequately with the upgrade. The last thing you want (and Microsoft wants) is to have a horrible...

Windows 10 comes out on July 29th, but you might have to wait until later to get it. Microsoft said today that it would be rolling out Windows 10 in waves, "slowly scaling up" the rollout as it sees how things are going. The intention seems to be playing it safe and making sure that Windows 10...

After all the confusion about Windows 10 upgrades over this past weekend things have been very quiet on the Ring Master front. Many times over the course of the development of Windows 10 we have attempted to infer certain outcomes/actions around build releases based on the Twitter presence and...

Last week Microsoft updated everyone on the future of the Windows Insider Program but I think there was so much commotion about free Windows 10 that it got lost in the mix. So leaving the entire free or not free discussion set aside lets focus on the Insider program changes that Microsoft is...

While there was some confusion over Microsoft giving away Windows 10 to pirates, the software giant is now being clear about its free upgrade plans for Windows 10. We already know that Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users will get Windows 10 as a free upgrade (providing you install within a year of...

I think most active Windows Insiders have been hoping for a new build of Windows 10 today since it has been three weeks since build 10130 was released but unfortunately that build is not coming. We did however learn quite a bit about the last stages of the Windows Insider Program in these last...

Earlier today Rod was provided some information from Microsoft that helps to clarify the burning question out there about Windows 10 - How will Windows 10 activations work? In that article Rod explains that the activation of Windows 10 will occur automatically online when you perform your free...
