It's Official. Microsoft Announces Release Date for Windows 10

Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 will be available on July 29th. You can reserve your free Windows 10 upgrade now through a simple reservation process. Look for this icon in your system tray at the bottom of your screen, simply click on the icon, and then complete the reservation process.

If you don’t see it, check your Windows Update. On my Windows 7, it is not showing up so I assume this will be part of path Tuesday June 2nd.

The initial release will be for PC and tablets.

You can reserve your free upgrade in the Get Windows 10 App. Once you reserve, Windows 10 will download when available, and you can cancel your reservation at any time.

Click on the small Windows icon found at the right end of the taskbar. If you don’t see it, visit our Q&A page for more info.

To remove the icon you can either hide it or uninstall the Windows Update KB3035583.
