Windows will let you know if you need to restart your device to complete an update, and if so you can choose a time that works best for you to complete that update. A spokesman for Microsoft said the anniversary update would not be released in the same way.Features for Windows 11 are constantly being added and updated, and all of them (including major updates) are delivered to your device from the Windows Update page in Settings. The company was criticised for using pushy tactics to encourage as many customers as possible to switch to Windows 10 and in one case had to pay out $10,000 over an automatic update. To make sure you get it as soon as you can, turn automatic updates on by going to Control Panel -> System -> Automatic Updates. You should receive a notification telling you when you can download it. You can also download it by going to Microsoft's website.Īn update to the software will be available to some users from August 2. If you go to Settings -> Update you should be able to install the software onto your computer. To download Windows 10 for free you will need to be running Windows 7 or Windows 8. More information is available on Microsoft's website. But if your computer is three years old or more you might not be able to access all of the new features. The latest system is billed as being more secure and easier to use than older versions. It combines some of the best features in Windows 7 and 8, with a taskbar and Start button in the bottom left hand corner, and the customisable live tiles within the Start menu.Īround 350 million computers are running Windows 10, for which Microsoft plans to release regular software updates. Windows 10 marked the return of the Start menu - after the somewhat controversial move to remove it in Windows 8 - as well as a new web browser, design and the integration with Microsoft's digital assistant Cortana. The first of such updates is coming on August 2 and features a raft of improvements to Cortana, the Surface Book's stylus and the Edge browser. The upgrade, which is available to anyone running a computer with Windows 7 or above, has been free to download for Microsoft customers for a year to encourage them to install what the company describes as the " last version" of its flagship operating system.įrom now, future updates will be released as iterative software upgrades rather than all-new pieces of software. After 11am on Saturday 30 July, the home edition of Windows 10 will cost $120 (£91). Today is the last day for PC owners to upgrade to the latest version of Microsoft's Windows software for free.
