Now the questions is do you want to upgrade now?

I have been using Windows 10 preview since it was open to the public and got the latest update over the weekend.  Honestly i do not believe it is ready for consumer consumption, it is a great Operating System (OS) but still needs some more tweaking for it to be a perfect OS.

If you do decided to go with the upgrade Microsoft has tried to make it as seamless as possible, in just a few clicks your reservation is complete and you suppose to get Windows 10 upgrade like a windows update when tit becomes available on July 29th.
