Microsoft will finally be bringing Windows 10 to older handsets after several months of delay. Windows 10 Mobile, the mobile version of Microsoft's newest operating system, is starting to become available to over a dozen phones. Though the update will come as welcome news to those who may still have a phone with Windows Phone 8.1, its not all good news: not all older Windows Phone devices are supported. Microsoft said, "As Windows 10 delivers significant new innovations, many older devices are not able to successfully upgrade without an impact on the customer experience many older devices are not able to successfully upgrade without an impact on the customer experience."
Microsoft might be making one final push to scare you into upgrading to Windows 10 while it’s still free, but there’s a silver lining to that annoying cloud. Yes, come July 29th, even though a steep $119 price increase is on the cards, Microsoft has said that they will discontinue all that bothersome “Get Windows 10” business that keeps popping up on your Windows 7 or 8.1 machine. WinBeta’s Zac Bowden was curious what would happen once the free upgrade program came to an end, so he contacted Microsoft for clarification. According to Geek.com, Microsoft responded by saying the "nagware" “will be disabled and eventually removed from PCs worldwide.”
The next generation of Windows is here: Microsoft officially released Windows 10 on Wednesday, making the new operating system available to download as a free upgrade for Windows 7 and 8 users. Windows 10, which Microsoft first previewed in late September, is a sort of hybrid platform: Executives say it combines the "familiarity" of classic Windows with the tablet-optimized features of 2012's Windows 8. Microsoft is hoping the addition of some old-school Windows features will help convince users to switch to Windows 10 -- and for the first time, the company is offering the new Windows as a free upgrade through the first year after its release, as the company announced in January.
Attention, Samsung computer owners: the company would like to strongly urge you to avoid upgrading to Windows 10. It’s not because of Microsoft’s upgrade tactics, it’s because Samsung is horrible at updating drivers. Nearly two years after the first builds were made widely available, Samsung is still telling customers the drivers on its website are not compatible with the latest Windows version. It’s not as though Microsoft has been quiet about the impending arrival of Windows 10.
Microsoft is going to great lengths to get users to upgrade to Windows 10. Their latest is giving away free laptops.

Microsoft’s pushy Windows 10 upgrade tactics have finally come back to haunt them. Travel agency owner Teri Goldstein swears up and down that she didn’t want the upgrade and never asked for it, either. She told the Seattle Times she had never heard of Windows 10— not until she found it installed on her system and it started crashing on a regular basis. That’s not the sort of thing you need happening to a computer that you use to run your small business.
