Are you ready for the free upgrade to Windows 10?  

In order to get the free upgrade to Windows 10 (from Windows 7 or 8), your copy of Windows has to be up-to-date.  Once it is up-to-date, an all white windows icon should appear in the notification area.  Click it to "Get Windows 10".

This is a free upgrade and it is not a trial, but you must reserve your free upgrade as it will only be available for a limited time.  

Once you reserve your copy, your system should download the 3 GB Windows 10 upgrade archive when it becomes available (around the end of this month).  Not getting it may mean that you miss this 'limited time" offer for the free upgrade.

I am updating all the computers in the house that run Windows 7 (I never liked 8 and therefore I downgraded to Windows 7 after trying out 8 and never upgraded the rest of the PCs) so that they will be ready for the free upgrade.

Most of all of our computers have a Windows 7 DVD  or rescue partition to reinstall Windows 7 if we don't like Windows 10.  So we think its worth the try.  Windows 10 will supposedly reintroduce visual cues for those who don't have touch, and theoretically address all the issues that were such a huge hassle if you don't have a touch system.

We will see.
