Tea? (Part 4)

[Mo1959]

I've got 8.1 running and there is an icon at the bottom of my taskbar saying "Get Windows 10"

July 29th according to Microsoft's site.??

I googled it and got 29th July

Obviously I'm wrong then.

No you are not, I have clicked on it and have looked at what its about.
It says click on to reserve it on 29 July as Mo says. Initially it's free, its supposed to download and you get confirmation and then its up to you when you install it.
After a certain time you have to pay for it.

Rather than repeat it, I put the answer above in reply to Mrs D
My only question would be that new releases are normally full of bugs, if you are quick you get it free, but a bugged up version?

TD, it will never be bug free, even until the day Windows 11 is released. Todays way of doing things is release and constantly supply updates, it'll never 'not work', it's been in technical releases for over a year but there will always be something that doesn't quite go as planned, it's the nature of software.

I use a mac and an ipad but I do still have a Windows laptop as a standby if the others fail so will probably update it and have a play around with it to see what it is like.

I have a 27" desktop Mac and a 17" Macbook Pro. Love both and won't ever go back to the Windows stuff!

Yes its free, but not if you have windows 8 I think

I'm still on XP, e-mail offerring the upgrade arrived the end of last month. Download/Upgrade was going to be available the end of this month.

Is that why its previous name was Windows 9!

I think the July 29th date was only announced this week.

All the better for watching videos about adjusting bike gears...

What'd happen if you didn't like it though?

They just didn't want German customers refusing it...

Want to give Windows 97 a go?

£5? I may go to £8.50 if the other half agrees.
