Doesn’t time fly? It seems like only yesterday that we were all celebrating the launch on Windows 10, but that was almost a year ago! Way back on the official release day of July 29th 2015, it was announced that qualified Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 users could upgrade to Windows 10 for free before July 29th 2016.
Well that day is now less than two months away(!), and with the summer holidays around the corner there’s no excuse why your students shouldn’t return to a fully operational Windows 10 classroom in September.
To help you with the move to Windows 10, there is a handy “Windows 10 Upgrade Guide for Schools” that can be found on our SlideShare page, and also elsewhere on this blog.
In addition to this, there are some other helpful guides in the Windows 10 for Education section of the TechNet blog aimed at anyone seeking to get their classroom technology up to date with Windows 10.
