Windows 10 arrives July!

[Calverley Lad]

Could the latest Windows updates be the last for Windows 7 prior to Windows 10?
Just finished doing an install of the July updates, 3 machines done each 160Mb each
Surprised how quickly each machine took to do, mind you it does help if you have a quick connection.

My PC has been sitting on 0% updated for the last 1.5 hours!  It is going to be a long day!

Just updated two Win7 m/c, one yesterday and one today; download about 160Mb
went smoothly (about 15min each), so far, so good.

Still no sign of the taskbar notification for Win10 and both updates
KB3035583 and KB2976978 are installed to both m/c.

There should still be updates for Win7 next month.

There'll be updates of some form for Win7 until 2019 because its still supported by microsoft until then, just nothing major as its now out of mainstream support.

We just bought a new laptop through our local IT trouble-shooting company ( good friends we have known for years since they started).  They installed Win 7 for us as that is what we had before, we have a Win 10 notification on the taskbar.

Their advice 'Ignore the Win 10 download option, we're going to download it on a few of our machines & run it for a while to check for glitches. Then we'll tell you when it's "safe" to install Win 10'.

Good enough for me.

So are we all updating to new operating system?
Free to Windows 7/8 and 8.1 for 12months from release date.
 

I'm still on my 2006 Windows XP PC

I've still not had the Windows 10 notification, but like most people I'm going to wait a few months before I download it.

I'm still on XP on the pc - some of my hardware/software won't work properly on anything later.
 
I've got the notification on my Win7 lappy, so I'll give it a go - but only 'cos Falkyrn said it was reversible if Win10 isn't suitable.
As long as I know who to blame if it all goes wrong.................!

the tech reviews all talk of a 30 day limit once you make the switch before Windows deletes "old" versions

Windows 10 is different and there will be a learning curve from W7 and even from W8 but in use it feels more like W7 than 8 ever did. The start bar is different in layout but if you take a little time to get used to it and to adjust it to your own preferences it becomes second nature. Many of the Windows function screens (control panel etc) are in different places but this has been the case with every incarnation of Windows since the first one.
