Today I found a new icon on my computer's task bar and when I hovered over it, it read "get Windows 10." If you have Windows 7 or Window's 8.1 installed on your desktop or laptop, you can register to receive Windows 10 for FREE. You only need your email address to register. Once registered you will wait until the release date, late July early August, and they will send instructions on how to download the software. You can install the software at your convenience. I think it would be prudent to wait a while to see what problems may be encountered with the new release.
Check to see if you have the icon on your task bar in the lower right. It looks like the icon above.
