7. FAQ -
When can I upgrade? And how much will it cost?
Microsoft expects to release the windows 10 sometime in April 2015.
Windows 10? What happened to Windows 9?
Microsoft wants to show the latest version as a fundamental change to how Windows works, and the
company is skipping a version number to show it.
I've got a desktop, and a tablet. How will that work?
Windows 10 is not just only for PCs, it will work for desktops, tablets and on smartphones. The OS will
adjust user interface accordingly.
What about apps?
Apps will be coming along for the ride too, though Microsoft hasn't explained how that's going to work.
We do know that you'll be able to buy one app from the Windows Store and expect it to run on all your
devices. Source - http://www.cnet.com/news/windows-10-what-you-need-to-know ;

8. • Will Windows 10 run on my machine? What about minimum hardware
configuration ?
It's too early to say. Windows 8.1 did introduce 64-bit computing
requirements that ruled out some ancient processors, but it otherwise
played well with PCs that weren't too old. Suffice to say, if you're
picking up a newer device any time between now and Windows 10's
release next year, you should be good to go.
• Windows 10 will run across an incredibly broad set of devices – from the
Internet of Things, to servers in enterprise datacenters worldwide.
• Find files faster: File Explorer now displays your recent files and frequently
visited folders making for finding files you’ve worked on is easier.
