Windows 10Let’s Start…

About Windows 10

A public beta version of Windows 10 branded as Windows Technical

Preview (later known as Windows Insider Preview) was released on October 1, 2014.

Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 are able to upgrade into Windows 10 and also able to roll back into previous OS if you want.

Things to keep in mind

Unexpected PC crashes could damage or even delete your files, so you should back up everything. Some printers and other hardware might not work, and some software might not install or work correctly, including antivirus or security programs. You might also have trouble connecting to home or corporate networks.

Some installed apps might not yet work as expected or might not be available in your country or region. For example, Cortana is currently only available in English (United States), English (United Kingdom), Chinese (Simplified), German (Germany), French (France), Italian, and Spanish (Spain). To be able to use Cortana, the country or region for your system must be set to one of the available languages
