Upgrade to Windows 10 and win a trip to New York

If you haven’t already upgraded to Windows 10, Microsoft has another incentive for you to make the switch. The tech giant is offering upgraders the chance to win a trip for two to New York, with flights and hotel accommodation included.

The competition is to celebrate the grand opening of Microsoft’s flagship store and the winner will have front of line access to the store, and also VIP concert tickets with a meet and greet with the (as yet unnamed) band at the grand opening concert. They’ll also receive Microsoft hardware including Surface Pro 3, Xbox One and Microsoft Band.

So what do you have to do to enter the competition? Simply upgrade to Windows 10, and submit your online entry using the form here. Share on social media and you’ll get additional entries.

The competition is only open to residents of the United States (or D.C.) and Canada (excluding Quebec), who are 18 years or older.

To enter online you need to be on Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 at start of promotion and upgrade to Windows 10 during the promotion period.
