If you use Windows 7\/8\/8.1 then in the next few days you will get a little notification in your taskbar about upgrading to Windows 10.<\/p>\n

This is not a virus. This is not a scam. This is not anything to bitch about.<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

Microsoft will be releasing Windows 10 in the next few months and all this is, is you giving them the go ahead to push it out to you when it\u2019s ready. When you click the \u201creserve upgrade\u201d button it will tell the update server to automatically download it just as it does any run of the mill Windows updates. Unlike older versions that were a hassle because you had to get the disk and all that, this one installs absolutely effort-less. Once it\u2019s downloaded you\u2019ll just get a notification to reboot and let it do it\u2019s thing. Don\u2019t worry about compatibility because it\u2019s 99.99% likely you\u2019ll have no issues but it will scan for them just in case.<\/p>\n

I have been running the insider preview of Windows 10 for months and it is absolutely amazing, even in unfinished form. Don\u2019t be one of those assholes who insists on clinging to outdated software. Upgrade and you\u2019ll like it. It has the best of 7 and 8 and so much more. The best part is it\u2019s free as long as you upgrade within the first year, and no, you won\u2019t have to pay to keep using it later. Anyone who says that is an ill-informed asshole.<\/p>\n

In the future, there won\u2019t be a new version released every few years that completely redoes the whole thing like it\u2019s been in the past. Instead, Microsoft is treating Windows 10 as a service and will be continually upgrading it with new features pushed out when they\u2019re ready, more like you get updates on a smartphone, and once you\u2019ve done the initial upgrade you\u2019ll get all future ones for the life of your computer.<\/p>\n

Please do yourself a favor and download Windows 10 when it comes out. Don\u2019t be that person who\u2019s going to whine and complain about how you\u2019ll never leave 7 and shit. Just upgrade and get with the times, and you can make that even easier for yourself by reserving the upgrade now in advance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
