The exact date has not been specified yet, but it was officially announced that Windows 10 will be out this summer in 190 countries and 111 languages and it will be a free upgrade for Windows 7 and Windows 8 users for one year after the operating system launches.

So, it will be launched sooner than expected.

Windows 10 will also be available for smartphones and the Xbox One. It will include Windows Hello biometric authentication – providing instant access to your devices. You’ll be able to unlock your devices with your face, fingerprint and iris scan, instead of a password.

For now, you can download the Windows 10 Technical Preview build 10041 here.
