Microsoft offers glimpse into Windows 10 free upgrade

By Edward C. Baig, June 30, 2016 

The first-year anniversary of the Windows 10 launch is still about a month away. But Microsoft executive Yusuf Mehdi announced Wednesday in a blog post that the next major iteration of the company’s operating system — dubbed the Windows 10 Anniversary Update — will become available on Aug. 2.

Microsoft is encouraging folks to request it in advance. Indeed, ahead of July 29, the one-year anniversary launch date, anyone running Windows 7 or 8.1 on a PC  can now request the upgrade to Windows 10 for free, after which Windows 10 will cost $119. Either way, you’ll still have to wait until Aug. 2 to get the Anniversary update.

Mehdi says that more than 350 million devices are currently running Windows 10 worldwide, with customer-satisfaction levels higher than any previous version. Engagement has also been at an all-time high. Since launch, Windows 10 has been used more than 135 billion hours.
