System Requirements
1. System Requirements
Before you install Windows 10, check to make sure your PC meets the system requirements for the upgrade. To do this, go to Start > Settings > System > About and look for the “Get Windows 10” app. The app will scan your PC and let you know if you can upgrade or not.
If you’re not sure what version of Windows you have, open the Control Panel and look for “System” under the “System and Security” heading. Your version of Windows will be listed next to “System type” under the General tab.
To see what version of Windows 10 is right for you, go to Start > Settings > Update & security > Activation and select which edition of Windows 10 you want to install: Home or Pro.
Upgrade paths
If you’re running an older version of Windows, you’ll need to upgrade to the latest release in order to take advantage of all the new features and security improvements. Here’s a rundown of the different upgrade paths available:
If you’re currently running Windows 7, you can upgrade to Windows 10 for free. Just head to Microsoft’s website and download the installer.
If you’re running Windows 8.1, you can also upgrade to Windows 10 for free. However, if you’re using a pirated copy of Windows 8.1, you’ll need to purchase a legitimate license before upgrading.
If you’re running an older version of Windows, such as Windows XP or Vista, you’ll need to purchase a copy of Windows 10 in order to upgrade. Head to Microsoft’s website and choose the edition of Windows 10 that you want. Then, follow the instructions on how to install it.
The Release Date
It’s finally here! After months of anticipation, Windows 10 is finally available to the public. If you’re planning on installing the new operating system, there are a few things you need to know first.
The most important thing to know is the release date. Windows 10 will be available on July 29th, 2015. This is a worldwide release, so everyone will have access to the new operating system on the same day.
If you’re upgrading from an older version of Windows, you’ll be able to do so starting on July 29th as well. However, it’s worth noting that there may be some waiting involved. Microsoft has said that they expect demand for Windows 10 to be high, so it may take a few days or even weeks for everyone who wants to upgrade to get their hands on the new OS.

Microsoft usually releases two service packs for each major version of Windows.
When it comes to pricing, Microsoft has not yet announced how much Windows 10 will cost. However, previous versions of Windows have ranged in price from $120 to $200.
