Upgrading a laptop to Windows 10 is so easy a 10 year-old could do it

10 year olds

Microsoft wants you to use Windows 10. I mean, really, really, really wants you to use it. To this end it is pulling out all the stops, and removing as many barriers to adoption as possible.

The OS will be free to users of Windows 7 and 8.1 in the first year (check out the requirements here), but the process of upgrading has also been made as easy as possible. You just need to click the icon that pops up in the system tray to reserve your upgrade. But if you’re still unsure how simple upgrading will be, Microsoft has put together a video in which a bunch of 10 year-olds explain the process.

Naturally, they are explaining it to a grownup who doesn’t seem too sure how easy the whole process is, but quickly comes to see it’s just a matter of tapping on the screen a few times.

Yes, Microsoft is explaining how to upgrade to Windows 10 on a touchscreen laptop because, despite all the changes and concessions the company has made to its forthcoming OS, the software giant still really hates the keyboard and mouse.
