In the meantime, Microsoft has made it easy for existing users on their platforms to upgrade to Windows 10 by a new process called Reservation. Users will receive a notification on their taskbar (or system tray as some calls it), a pop-up notification to be precise as seen in the picture below at the right side under the screen.
The notification will says “Reserve your free upgrade”, they will need to click the icon and insert their email address to be notify if their reservation is successful. To get the upgrade reservation notification, Windows Update will need to be enabled (System Information -> System Update -> Activate).
Hardware compatibility matters alot to some PCs, especially the old ones, but Microsoft made an assurance that they’ve worked hard to make sure that Windows 10 is compatible with all devices running their previous Windows versions, we’ll have to wait to confirm that. With Windows 10 coming to tablets, laptops, PCs and convertible devices on July 29, nothing has been said regarding when the update will be available for Windows Phone devices.
