In an October 29 blog post, Terry Myerson, Microsoft Executive Vice President of Windows and Devices, laid out Microsoft's plans to make its Windows 10 upgrade more widely available to users.
The "reservation" phase of upgrading to Windows 10 is over. Microsoft is now getting ready to push the operating system out to even more users. Microsoft will "soon" be publishing Windows 10 as an "Optional Update" in Windows Update for all Windows 7 and 8 customers. Then, "early next year," Microsoft will re-categorize Windows 10 as a "Recommended Update."
For users with automatic updates enabled, the "Recommended" setting may cause the Windows 10 upgrade to automatically initiate on their devices. However, users will not be upgraded to Windows 10 until they proactively choose to do so, even once it's pushed as a Recommended Update, Microsoft officials said today.
If users end up moving to Windows 10 and are unhappy with their choices, they still will have 31 days to roll back to their previous Windows versions, Myerson reiterated in today's blog post.
"Our goal is you won't be surprised" about how and when you can go to Windows 10.

Myerson also confirmed what other company officials hinted in August: Microsoft will be providing users with more information about what is in the Cumulative Updates that they will be getting regularly for Windows 10. He said "starting next month, Microsoft will take a first stab" at providing more documentation to both consumers and business users about what the company is delivering with each new update for Windows 10.
