This morning I woke up and realized that it was July 29.  THE DAY.  This is the day that my laptop will get a final update to Windows 10.

So I turned it on, and it SEEMS that I am now running the official release.  It’s hard to tell because the way I would have figured this out in the past is no longer available.  Start->My Computer->(right click) Properties.  The My Computer Start menu option is gone.  Good because it was dumb anyway.  I’m sure I can figure it out but what this really means is that this is the LAST MAJOR WINDOWS RELEASE from Microsoft.  Since there will be no Windows 11 I guess it doesn’t matter anymore.  But I digress…

Windows 10 is going to solve 100% of the frustrations you have had with Windows 8 and 8.1.  If you were comfortable with Windows 7 and were mad every time you turned on your version 8 PC – then your wait is over.  Well, actually you’ll need to wait a little while longer.

I’m not sure when YOUR upgrade will occur.  I got mine today because I was one of 5,000,000 beta testers.  Remember you only reserved your spot.  But I’ve read that everyone that has reserved a spot so far will get the upgrade in 4-6 weeks or less.  And this actually is a good thing.  It’s good because Microsoft will be spending lots of time between now and then doing tweaks to W10 so it runs correctly on your machine.  So waiting a little while is a good thing.

[note: please let me know as soon as you upgrade.   I’d like to see how it goes.]

I’ll be playing with the final release up to the date of the next Club meeting in Aug.  I’m sure I’ll have it all figured out by then and give everyone a nice overview.

Windows 10…  Yeah!
