to your existing win7 or win8.1 pc or tablet.
Microsoft has a lot riding on windows 10.
 The new OS has the task of erasing the bad
experiences people had with the touchscreen-
focused Windows 8, which ultimately failed to
catch fire among PC users. Windows 10 comes
packed with new features, such as a redesigned
Start menu, the Cortana voice assistant and a
new browser called Edge, all designed to win over
jaded Windows users.

experience among PCs, tablets and smartphones
as a way to convince consumers to go the
Windows route for all their devices. So how can
