How to Get Windows 10


On Tuesday, Microsoft held a small event where the company took the cover off of the latest version of Windows, Windows 10. The new operating system brings back the beloved Start Menu, unifies the experience across myriad devices and features a revamped command prompt. Yes, you read that right.

Past the list of new features, the obvious question is: "When can I get it?"

The full retail release isn't happening anytime soon, with release slated for sometime in mid-2015. But fear not, Microsoft fans, a "Technical Preview" will be available to download beginning October 1.

The preview build will be available to anyone who signs up for the Windows Insider Program. You can sign up for said program by visiting the Insider website and logging in using an appropriate Microsoft account.

After accepting the terms for the program, you're walked through the download process for the Windows 10 preview.

The release will be a version of Windows 10 still in early stages of development, sure to be riddled with bugs and issues. In other words, it's not for the faint of heart or for those who aren't willing to spend time troubleshooting and submitting bug reports to Microsoft.
