Insider Preview? Don’t need to reserve Windows 10
If you’re already running Windows 10 in Insider Preview, Microsoft’s Gabriel Aul posted some good news on his Twitter page
on June 12. You won’t need to reserve Windows 10. This news came after
Twitter user @schrubbls asked if a reservation will be necessary for
Windows Insiders.
“You won’t need to reserve, and if you’re running Insider Preview you’ll be upgraded,” Aul replied.
However, you will need a valid Windows 7/8 or 8.1 license in
order to be upgraded, regardless of whether you’re a part of the
testing program, according to MaximumPC.
To date, there are approximately 4 million people who are already
running Windows 10 through the Insider Preview program, which was
previously known as Technical Preview.
Microsoft has been
allowing existing Windows users to reserve their free upgrade to Windows
10, which is slated to debut on PCs and tablets on July 29. If you
still haven’t made your reservation,
you can do so by clicking the Windows icon at the right end of the
taskbar on your desktop. Click on “Reserve your free upgrade,” then
enter your email for confirmation.
If
you don’t see the “Get Windows 10” app on your device, it’s possible
that Windows Automatic Updates have been disabled. However, Microsoft
has a full FAQ Page to help you determine why you haven’t been offered the upgrade just yet.
As
of late, Aul has been a valuable source of information on Twitter. On
June 11, he was quick to elaborate on the bugs plaguing Build 10130,
which was not released for Surface 3 users. Then, Aul answered users’ concerns when he stated that there will be no annual fee for Windows 10, even after the free-for-one-year upgrade expires.
Those who are interested in using Windows, but do not already have a Windows device, will be able to purchase the Home edition for $119. The Pro version of Windows 10 will be set at $199.
