\nMicrosoft says they skipped Windows 9 to emphasize that Windows 10 is the \u201d perfect 10?. Most people disagree and think Microsoft skipped Windows 9 to distance Windows 10 from the sales debacle of Windows 8. And also that Microsoft used the number 10 as a symbolic end to numbered or named versions of Windows.<\/p>\n

\nMicrosoft says there will be revisions and updates of Windows 10 but there won\u2019t be a Windows 11, 12, 13, etc. Keep in mind\u00a0that Microsoft\u2019s announcements are subject to change without notice.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>
\nThat\u2019s a good question. There are some who speculate Microsoft is giving away Windows 10 free to Windows 7 and 8 users (until July 2016) in order to get Windows 10 installed\u00a0on as many computers as possible –\u00a0then charge for new revisions. There is no official word on this from Microsoft. Microsoft lovers will say no charge for revisions; Microsoft bashers will see a conspiracy to get customers’ money. I am sure we’ll all find out by August 2016.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>
\n(From Microsoft) \u201cYes. You can reserve your upgrade at any time on any compatible PC by clicking on the Get Windows 10 app or the Windows Update control panel. This update is not required to get Windows 10, you can still get it even though you don\u2019t get the notification…” You can read our tutorial on upgrading to Windows 10 withou<\/a>t an “invitation” here<\/a><\/span>. Just remember to download and upgrade by\u00a0July 29th 2016. We don’t know what’s going to happen after that.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>
\nYes. According to Microsoft if you are using a qualifying version of Windows (Windows 7 SP1, Widnows 8.1 or Windows 10 upgrade) you can create an installation DVD or USB and clean install Windows 10. Remember, if you clean install everything will be deleted from your computer – so make sure you have your personal files backed up on an external drive or somewhere other than your Windows drive (normally C:\\). Read our guide to creating Windows 10 installation media here<\/span>.<\/a><\/p>\n
\n<\/em>
\nYes. Unless Microsoft changes its mind and extends the free Windows 10 offer.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>
\nIf you want\u00a0to install Windows 10 on a separate hard disk or partition, you will need to purchase a full license. Windows 10 Home is $119. Windows 10 Pro is $199. However, that being said you can install Windows 10 without a key and use it – you won’t be able to personalize it and there will be a watermark in the bottom right corner saying Windows has not been activated – but Windows 10 will still be usable with some restrictions.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>
\nNo you won\u2019t. We have helped dozens of people successfully upgrade to Windows 10. We’ve never seen anyone lose any personal files. That does not mean you should not keep your personal files backed up. There’s always a chance something might go wrong. Better to have backups and not need them, than need them and not have them.\u00a0You just never know.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em><\/span>
\nWindows Mail works on Windows 10, but after you upgrade to Windows 10, Windows Mail \u2013 we are sorry to say \u2013 will not work until it has been re-set.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>
\nAnything that worked on Windows 7 and\/or Windows 8 should work on Windows 10, according to Microsoft. We have been using Windows 10 for over a year (including the developer versions)\u00a0and we have not found anything that works on Windows 7 or Windows 8 that won\u2019t work on Windows 10. But your experience may be different.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>
\nWe don\u2019t work for Microsoft and we don\u2019t have any insider information, but our guess is that Microsoft will never again include a full mail client like Outlook Express or Windows Mail with Windows. The mail app they include with Windows 10, looks like the same rudimentary mail app that was included in Windows 8. It might be OK for a quick read or reply on a smart phone or small tablet, but it but it lacks most of the features laptop and \u00a0desktop users want in an email program. Who wants to use a smartphone app on a computer for something as important as email?<\/p>\n
