Quote stayloa at 04 Jun 2015 6.56am Upgrade for Windows 7 users will be free too. No harm in "reserving" a copy, although it will download it for you. In saying you can upgrade, it's checked your compatibility of software etc. You CAN'T easily downgrade, so the advice from me would be to do a full system backup with a full image of your system drive so you can restore. That said, I'm upgrading from day 1 and currently have Win 10 technical preview running in a VM and on a laptop. I like it. If you're not sure, I'd wait until release, read a review and see if it's the right move for you. Would strongly recommend doing it before the year is up though as there's no getting away from it. This is good advice, although I would wait until it's in full swing, there are always issues with first releases of windows. As for not getting away from it, if I hate Win 10 as much as I did Win 8 or it is as intrusive, then it's bye bye windows altogether for me. There are alternatives.

I'd leave it at least a month.

Bring back Windows 3.11, that's what I say. "Everything is air-droppable at least once." "When the going gets tough, the tough call for close air support."
