#CAN I GET A FREE WINDOWS 10 UPGRADE TO 64 BIT WINDOWS 10 SOFTWARE#
(Enterprises on Microsoft’s Software Assurance scheme get Windows 10 free anyway.) Is it Windows 10 Home or Pro? For example, the offer does not apply to corporate or education copies installed under some volume or site licensing deals. The free offer applies to every PC that is running a “genuine” copy of Windows 7 or 8, with a few exceptions. It doesn’t matter if you have two or 20 PCs, or more. ReadyBoost was an interesting idea but turned out to be not worth the effort. You need the 64-bit version to support more than 4GB. However, if you are running the 64-bit version of Windows 7 in 3GB, 64-bit Windows 10 should run slightly better. While this may be true, I’d recommend doubling each number, ie 2GB and 4GB. Microsoft reckons 32-bit Windows 10 will run in 1GB and the 64-bit version in 2GB. What is the recommended memory size for Windows 10? My Acer W7 laptop has 3GB fitted, and I use a further 4GB as ReadyBoost (which doesn’t seem to make much difference). If you have any unusual hardware or software, hold off installing Windows 10 until the “early adopters” have found the major problems and Microsoft has had a chance to fix them. (Anybody can write software for Windows without telling Microsoft.) This will warn of any compatibility problems that Microsoft has found, bearing in mind that there are millions of devices and tens of millions of Windows programs that Microsoft knows nothing about. Run the Get Windows 10 app, click the menu and select “Check your PC” or “Your PC is good to go”. Is there going to be a Windows 10 upgrade advisor? Andrew S

Indeed, even if you reserve Windows 10 now, you may not be invited to install it for days or weeks after the official launch on July 29.

It doesn’t want to download the code to 400m (or whatever) PCs on the same day.

The point of “reserving” the upgrade is to allow Microsoft to download Windows 10 – probably 4GB or more – to your PC in the background over a period of time. Yes, but it’s better to leave it until you’re sure you want it, as long as you do that before July 29 next year. Can I cancel and reapply?Ĭan I apply for a reservation and then cancel it? Then can I reapply for the reservation? dragothunder wolf To cancel your reservation, right-click on GWX, the white Windows icon on the Taskbar, select “Check your upgrade status” and then “Cancel reservation”. How do I cancel my acceptance to Windows 10 free? mattyphyllis Such users have already ignored cheap upgrade deals for Windows 7 and 8, either of which would have got them Windows 10 free. It remains to be seen whether Microsoft will offer launch discounts to XP and Vista users. However, you will be able to buy a copy for a maximum price of $119 (Windows 10 Home) or $199 (Windows 10 Pro). If you are running Windows XP, Vista, or any other version of Windows then you will not get a free upgrade offer.

Alternatively, you should be able to find the invitation by going to Windows Update in the Control Panel (via System and Security). This puts a small white Windows logo – the GWX or Get Windows 10 app – in the system tray on the right hand side of the Taskbar. If not, run Windows Update to see if any updates are available for your PC. If you are running Windows 7 or Windows 8, you should already have had an invitation to “reserve” a copy of Windows 10. Can I get an invitation to upgrade to Windows 10, when it’s ready? Where is the link? Olga
