Windows 10, expected on the market this autumn, will be available for one year as a free upgrade to users of Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1, Myerson said.
How are they going to deliver the free upgrade to customers?
They will announce that as we get closer.
Okay. Do you know when that will be?
No I don't
I had read that it would come through Windows Update but would require a couple of updates prior to that to get Windows 7 and 8.1 ready to do the upgrade. That is why they are testing the update process with the Technical Preview to be sure it does a good job.How are they going to deliver the free upgrade to customers?

The only thing I haven't heard about yet is a change in the Preview time-out from 4/2015 to ship-date/2015, or after.
What do you mean? Are you saying we have to buy them from the store?How are they going to deliver the free upgrade to customers?
