Can Microsoft's online demo persuade you to upgrade to Windows 10?
Microsoft is doing its best to persuade users of Windows 7 and 8.1 to upgrade to Windows 10. Having seen reasonable -- but not outstanding -- upgrade numbers as a result of aggressively ramming the new OS down users’ throats, the software giant is now trying to sell the benefits of Windows 10 to those customers still on the fence.
An online Windows 10 demo covering PC, Tablet and Phone lets users see the new OS in action, and gives them the opportunity to upgrade if they like what's on offer.
Select a device type at the top, and then pick a category you’re interested in from the list down the left hand side. Options for the PC are:
- Work across my devices
- Meet Cortana
- Get more done
- Stay organized
- Get apps and more
- Personalize my PC
- Keep in touch
- Browse the web
- Manage my photos
- Have more fun
- Find my way with maps
Once you’ve selected one of those you can choose a particular area you’re interested in, and the relevant video will play on the right.
If you want to know how to "get more done", for example, the demo will show you how to mark up and share web pages, work on the go, work hands free, take notes with you, and instantly unlock your PC.
Should the videos do their job of convincing you to upgrade, you can do so by clicking the Shop Now button on the site.

What do you think? Are you tempted to upgrade, and if not, what's holding you back?
