Windows 10 Release Date Announced, Schedule Your Upgrade Now June 1, 2015

Windows 7 (and possibly even Windows 8) users are probably noticing a brand new icon on their taskbars this morning.  This icon, baring the Windows 10 logo, allows the Windows owner to schedule an Operating System upgrade when Windows 10 is released at the end of July.  Don’t worry, this isn’t some scam and your computer doesn’t have a virus, Microsoft is allowing current owners of PCs running Windows 7 and Windows 8 to upgrade to Windows 10 free of charge!

Now you’re probably asking why is this information being included on a gaming news website?  Well, Windows 10 is expected to be a major platform for computer gaming, with tons of features specifically designed to improve the PC gaming experience, a whole new directX, and an app which enhances the functionality of the Xbox One!

Windows 10 is coming July 29th, 2015.  It is free of charge for Windows 7 and Windows 8 users.
