Microsoft promised to rollout Windows 10 on July 29 and while they seem to be on track, especially with the recent announcement of an upgrade, which will allow the streaming of Xbox One games to a Windows 10 PC, unfortunately not everyone will get it on the said day. 

Last Thursday, July 2, four weeks prior to their release, the official Windows blog posted that they feel its their responsibility to provide information on how Windows 10 will be released to retailers and users. They started the post by announcing that Windows 10 will be released in phases to ensure that users have a great experience when upgrading their operating system.

According to the post, "Starting on July 29, we will start rolling out Windows 10 to our Windows Insiders. From there, we will start notifying reserved systems in waves, slowly scaling up after July 29th. Each day of the roll-out, we will listen, learn and update the experience for all Windows 10 users."

Those who are part of the Windows Insider beta testing program have bigger hopes of getting the update at the exact date of the launch. Those who are not, however, will have to watch out for the "Get Windows 10" prompt on the toolbar to reserve their digital copies. No word though on whether the rollout will be a first come, first serve basis.

Gizmodo posts that this move is probably for the best as recent builds show that Windows 10 is not yet ready for mass rollout. They noted that the Windows build releases include bugs that are not typical of releases so close to the official release. Releasing the new operating system in waves will really help the Redmond company iron out the kinks before it finally reaches all users.

Users will simply have to hang tight for now for further updates on when Windows 10 will officially be installed on their devices.
