A copy of Windows 10 Home will run $119, while Windows 10 Pro will cost $199. In a statement given to CNET, Microsoft confirmed the price of single Windows 10 licenses in the event you are not eligible for a free upgrade or wish to build your own computer. ![]() Some industry watchers became concerned the software may not be ready in time. Microsoft has mostly remained mum, coyly avoiding discussion of a launch date even during its developer conference in April. Rumors originally swirled around a July release date for Windows 10 back in April when Lisa Su, head of chipmaker AMD, discussed the timeline on a conference call. The company's goal with Windows 10 is both to repair the damage done by the ill-received Windows 8 and to convince consumers that upgrading is worth the time and effort. Despite its dominance, Microsoft critics see the company and its products as a tech titan in decline, as mobile phones and competing, cheaper software have chipped away at Windows. Microsoft's operating system powers a majority of personal computers and acts as the backbone of many of the world's businesses. Windows 10 marks the next iteration of the one of the world's most ubiquitous pieces of software. Users running Windows 7 or 8.1 with the latest updates can reserve the upgrade, which is available until July 29, 2016, starting today. Windows 10 will be free for users who have bought a computer in the past six years or so, powered by Windows 7 or later, or tablets running Windows 8.1. Windows 10 Mobile, the company's companion software designed to power smartphones, is expected to arrive later this year. The software maker announced Monday that it will begin offering its newest software to power PCs and tablets as a free upgrade on July 29. Microsoft has set a release date for Windows 10 to arrive in the summer. ![]()
