Looking to take the Windows 10 plunge? We'll help you get the very best deal on Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro.
Last year saw the launch of Microsoft's latest operating system. It was much more warmly received than Windows 8, probably because the Start button is back. But also because it righted a lot of wrongs.
In our Windows 10 review we said: "As an operating system for getting things done though, Windows can't be beaten. Apple's macOS is brilliant, but the sheer variety of devices that will run Windows 10 reveals that support from manufacturers is second to none."
The new start button on Windows 10 splits the Start Menu into two, with the more traditional commonly used applications on the left and the Windows 8 tile styled menu on the right, for those with touch based computing.
Despite appearances, the new Start menu does everything the Windows 7 equivalent did and more. The familiarity should ensure that almost anybody can pick up Windows 10 and get going straight away.
Although Microsoft tried to claim this was the case with Windows 8, it was plain wrong.
The Windows 10 personal assistant - called Cortana - gets to know you over time and highlights your interests, like music and sport, that it thinks you would like. Unlike previous operating system versions, Windows 10 is compatible across all Microsoft devices, including PC's, tablets and smartphones.
So if you're still using Windows 7 or Windows 8 it's high time to upgrade.
We will be updating these Windows 10 deals every day, so keep checking back.
