How to Get the Windows 10 Download is a post by Travis Pope from Gotta Be Mobile.
With a potent mix of features and fixes, Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system is the most anticipated thing the company will release this year. Revealed last fall, Windows 10 attempts to comfortably mix all the thing users liked about Windows 7 and Windows Vista, with all of the things they needed in Windows 8 but were too afraid to commit to. Sadly, Microsoft isn’t done with the operating system. Getting your hands on the Insider Preview Windows 10 download now is the only way you can experience a lot of the new changes that Microsoft has in store.

How to Get the Windows 10 Download – Joining The Windows Insider Program
Even in the run up to its Windows 8 operating system, Microsoft talked up the idea that people at home — its average, everyday Windows users — have a big influence on the software they release. It was the company’s assertion that when it received feedback about a core feature being broken or not working correctly, it acted on it appropriately. The Windows Insider Program really does prove that the company wasn’t exactly telling the full truth there.
Joining the Windows Insider Program gives people at home, who might not necessarily get a chance to share their opinion, the chance to tell Microsoft what’s wrong with Windows 10 before it ever gets onto store shelves. There’s no membership fee or special requirements; agree to the terms of service and the latest Windows 10 downloads are you to do with what you will. There’s a dedicated feedback up and automatic prompts for getting opinions. Microsoft can’t stop talking up the Insider Program and the changes that its made because of it.
Insider.Windows.com is where anyone can sign up for the Windows Insider Preview Program.
Click or tap on the Sign in button in the top-right corner of your screen. You’ll need to have a working Microsoft Account to get access to the latest Windows 10 downloads and the Insider Program. Don’t worry, if you’re running Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 right now, chances are good that you have a Microsoft Account already. Open the Settings app on your PC to see what the account assigned to your device is. If you don’t have a Microsoft Account, now is the time to create one. You’ll need it to get into the Windows Insider Program and it’s only going to get more important in Windows 10.
After you’ve signed in, click on the Get Started button on the home page.
The first thing you’ll see on your screen is immediate access to two very, very different versions of Windows 10: Windows 10 for notebooks, desktops, tablets and 2-in-1s. The other is Windows 10 Mobile, which is made specifically for devices running Microsoft’s Windows Phone operating system and tablets that’ll launch alongside the operating system. Click on PC.
On this page, Microsoft breaks down what you should expect from the Windows 10 downloads that are available today and why you should or shouldn’t spend your time upgrading immediately. That you understand what you’re getting into is absolutely important.
First you need to know what you’re doing. Windows 10 is hardly done. There are feature gaps and issues with unpolished interfaces. Sometimes Windows 10 simply freaks out, leaving you to figure out what went wrong. As it’s building Windows 10, Microsoft is also preparing the apps that user need. Many of the Windows apps that you relied on with Windows 8 are in the middle of a refresh in Windows 10. Often times they work flawlessly. Sometimes, they fail to even start correctly. This thing is not done. You will run into issues.
Second, installing the Windows 10 download on your notebook, tablet or desktop has some serious ramifications down the road. First, Microsoft updates Windows 10 downloads on a pretty regular basis. Lately the company has averaged a new version every few weeks or so. This means that for a while you’ll be constantly updating your machine. When these new versions arrive you don’t have to completely start over though, they can be upgraded, which is a time saver for sure.
Lastly, installing the Windows 10 download will absolutely blow away anything and everything you have installed on your Windows PC already. If you’ve backed up your music, pictures and documents you’re mostly fine. If you haven’t done so now. Also, know that installing early Windows 10 downloads completely breaks the restore button in your Settings app. Unless you have cloned your hard drive or created a restore disc, there’s no way to get your original version of Windows back.

If you understand all of that and still want to get the latest Windows 10 download, click Get the preview at the bottom of your screen.
Now click the Start upgrade now button. You’ll need to download the dedicated tool that guides you through the update process.
Again, it’s absolutely imperative that you not install Windows 10 downloads if you aren’t sure about what you’re doing. Also, don’t install the operating system on anything that you need to get work done on every day. You’d be surprised what things in Windows you take for granted until they stop working.
