Microsoft Corporation will make Windows 10 available from July 29, across 190 countries, as a free upgrade with new PCs and tablets, according to the company’s recent media statement.
According to Microsoft, Windows 10 is the best Windows ever and was built to empower people to do great things. It has new innovations like Cortana, Microsoft Edge and the Xbox app.
From the beginning, Windows 10 has been unique – built with feedback from the fans, delivered as a service and offered as a free upgrade. When Windows 10 becomes available on July 29, as Microsoft has recently outlined, Microsoft focuses on delivering a great upgrade experience.
With celebrating the five million Windows Insiders and fans who played such an instrumental role in shaping Windows 10, Microsoft will host global fan celebrations, join thousands of retailers to help customers upgrade to Windows 10, and welcome the newest generation of Windows fans via a new global advertising campaign and through online content.
Microsoft will help people do more in their communities through a new year-long initiative, called Upgrade Your World.
Global celebrations and upgrade experiences for Windows fans
Microsoft will celebrate more than five million Windows Insiders, played in the development of Windows 10 at special events in 13 cities around the world, including Sydney, Tokyo, Singapore, Beijing, New Delhi, Dubai, Nairobi, Berlin, Johannesburg, Madrid, London, Sao Paolo, and New York City.
These celebrations will offer hands-on opportunities, experiential demos, entertainment and opportunities to meet the Windows team.
Microsoft has also worked closely with retailers to introduce programmes to help people easily upgrade, including Best Buy, Bic Camera, Croma, Currys/PC World, Elkjøp, Jarrir, Incredible Connection, Media Markt, Staples, Wal-Mart, Yamada, Yodobashi and many more leading retailers from around the world.
Tech Bench services will provide support for those upgrading to Windows 10, data migration services to help people move files from old PCs to new PCs, and experience stations where people can try out Windows 10.
Microsoft Stores will celebrate the launch of Windows 10 in more than 110 stores in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico. In select Microsoft Stores, fan celebrations will feature Windows 10 pop-up demo experiences, prizes, giveaways and more. Answer Desk services and free in-store workshops will help people learn how to get the most out of Windows 10.
Beginning July 20h in the US and July 29 globally, the first wave of TV and digital ads will highlight how Windows 10 delivers a more human way to do – brought to life with features like Windows Hello and Microsoft Edge.
Upgrade Your World initiative
