Microsoft has announced the release date of their latest version of Windows – version 10. Using the new version will be much more similar to the beloved desktop OS used in Windows 7 than Windows 8 has been, but it includes the many technical improvements which debuted in Windows 8. This new OS is being released starting on July 29th.

Opting in to the upgrade will enable your computer to automatically download the new operating system after July 29th, without the use of an install DVD.
