Windows 10 upgrade
Friday 29 July marks the last day that users can get a free
upgrade to the Windows 10 operating system.
Those who do not take advantage of the offer will have to pay
for it, with the home edition costing $120 (£91) and the professional edition
$200 (£151).
Eligible devices include tablets and PCs running Windows 7 or
newer.
Microsoft has been criticised for heavy-handed tactics in
promoting the upgrade.
In May, the software giant was accused of a "nasty
trick" when it changed the pop-up box encouraging users to upgrade so that
clicking to shut it down meant the upgrade was scheduled rather than rejected.
A Californian woman successfully sued the firm after she claimed
that an automatic Windows 10 update left her computer unusable.
In June, Microsoft said that is was going to offer "clearer
options" for users considering the upgrade.
To date, around 300 million devices worldwide have upgraded to,
or are using, Windows 10.
Most experts agree that upgrading should bring benefits to
users.
Disc space
Windows 10 offers access to Cortana, Microsoft's virtual
assistant - the first major operating system to offer this feature.
The virtual assistant can find restaurants and create calendar
events and also syncs with the Cortana app on any phone.
The system is designed to look the same on laptops, phones and
tablets, and has a new browser called Edge.
Most agree that the operating system is easier to use and a vast
improvement on Windows 8, which was heavily criticised.
It has the same tile-based system used by Windows phones - and
reintroduces the Start Menu, which was missing from the previous operating
system.
The update requires quite a bit of free disc space to install,
so some may need to uninstall space-hogging programs.
Microsoft has published a list of the most common upgrade and installation issues
and advice to try to fix the problem.
Annette Jump, an analyst with research firm Gartner, said there
were pros and cons to upgrading.
"Consumers can continue to stay current on Windows going
forward, as Microsoft is looking to deliver Windows more as a service in
future,"
She also listed improved security as a reason to upgrade but
warned it may not be worth it for all: "If you have an old PC - older than
three years - you will likely have very low specs on the device and will not be
able to benefit from many new features."
