Microsoft Microsoft is getting a lot right. Making Windows 10 free, unifying it across desktop and mobile, introducing Xbox streaming, Cortana integration and crazy holographic plans are all bullseyes which have revitalised the company under Satya Nadella. But now it has done one much simpler thing which is set to make Windows 10 the biggest success in Microsoft history.
For now Microsoft is keeping it quiet, but Build 9926 of the Windows 10 Technical Preview released last week can be downloaded and installed via Windows Update on Windows 7 and Windows 8. Yes, this is something so simple and sensible it beggars belief Microsoft hasn’t done it until now.
For now this method comes with a caveat: a small file is needed. Users go to Microsoft’s Technical Preview page and click the ‘Start upgrade now’ button. This downloads the file, you run it and afterwards you will be prompted to restart your PC. On first boot Windows Update will now show ‘Upgrade to Windows 10’ as an option. Say goodbye to burning DVDs, making USB boot drives and fiddling with bios boot order settings.
