Windows 10 Reaches 300 Million Active Devices Worldwide

Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 is now running on 300 million active devices globally. The company has also warned that the Windows 10 free upgrade offer for Windows 7 and 8.1 users will expire soon, which suggests that it has no intention of extending the offerā€™s availability.

In a new post on the official Windows blog, Yusuf Mehdi, Corporate Vice President of Microsoftā€™s Windows and Devices Group, has enthused that his company is ā€œseeing people at home, at schools, at small businesses, at large companies, and other organizations adopt Windows 10 faster than everā€.

However, the Redmond firm remains intent on persuading yet more people to upgrade to Windows 10 before the free upgrade offer expires on 29 July. To this end, Microsoft has posted a new YouTube video in which Windows Team member Bryan Roper goes through ten big reasons to make the step up to Windows 10.

Microsoft says that, from July 30, consumers will still be able to get Windows 10 by buying either a device with the operating system preinstalled or, for $119, a full version of Windows 10 Home. If you’re still undecided about upgrading, consider that Windows 10 comes with a good number of features that enable you to effectively pair it with Apple devices.
