Hello Windows Insider,

We have begun rolling out the public release of Windows 10 to the world, starting with our valued Windows Insiders. This is a hugely significant milestone for Windows and, thanks to feedback from Insiders like you, we're proud to say that this will be our best Windows release ever! Check out Terry's blog for details on this public release.

Starting on July 29, Microsoft stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada will host a series of Windows 10 activities and events – and we invite you to join us. We’re giving away free T-shirts to the first 50 Insiders. All Insiders who drop by will qualify for our Windows Insider Exclusive Microsoft store offer, valid July 29-August 2. For details, including the store nearest you, go to the Windows Insider Hub. (See below if you need to install Insider Hub.)

We invite you to get the final release of Windows 10 on other PCs you may own. Also, let your friends and family know how they too can experience the exciting benefits of Windows 10. Here’s how:

◾ For PCs running Genuine Windows 7/8 – these machines qualify for a free upgrade to Windows 10 through Windows Update. (You can also do a media-based upgrade though the Microsoft Software Download site.)

◾ For PCs not running Genuine Windows 7/8/10 – you can purchase Windows 10 at your local retailer or at online retailers like Microsoft Store.com.

The Windows Insider Program will continue after 7/29, and we'll have more information for you soon about how the program will work going forward. I hope you’ll continue to join us on this exciting journey.

Tips & Tricks

◾ Find out how to install the Insider Hub on your PC here when using the final release of Windows 10. (Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the instructions.)

Info for IT Pros

◾ The Windows 10 Enterprise Preview has been updated and replaced with the Windows 10 Enterprise Evaluation edition. This free, 90-day evaluation will help you test your apps, hardware, and deployment strategies.

◾ Watch What's New in Windows 10 Deployment for new recommendations for upgrading existing devices using a simple in-place upgrade process, provisioning tools for transforming new devices into ones ready for enterprise use, as well as updates to traditional deployment tools and techniques (ADK and beyond).

◾ Bookmark the Windows 10 TechCenter – Here you’ll find the latest tools and downloads, technical feature overviews, step-by-step deployment guides, and community forums to help you plan for, pilot, and deploy Windows 10.
