Still running ye'olde Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 on your PC?<br />On Thursday, the company announced a number of changes to the way upgrading to Windows 10 works.<br />Perhaps most importantly, the two-step process of upgrading to Windows 10, which so far required reserving your copy and then getting a notification you can actually upgrade, is gone.<br />Furthermore, Windows 10 will "soon" become an "Optional Update" in Windows Update for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users.<br />Starting "early next year," Microsoft will go even further, making Windows 10 a "Recommended Update."<br />This will always require a confirmation from the user, Microsoft explains, and even if you change your mind, your old operating system will remain saved for 31 days should you decide to go back.<br />Finally, Microsoft is making some changes for users running non-Genuine versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
