It’s Wednesday July 29th, the official launch day for Windows 10. The new operating system is a free upgrade for windows 7 and 8 users, but don’t expect to just start downloading and installing it right away. Microsoft is making this a hands off process, meaning most users will have to wait until the installation software has downloaded in the background to their device. If you don’t see the pop up notification, you may have to get your computer ready with a few updates to your current operating system. Here is a guide on how to get ready for Windows 10.

“There’s a lot going on,” Pressler said, “so how do we focus when there’s so much going on?” The first step of gaining focus, she says, is to acknowledge what’s going on -- not just with the constant barrage of news, but with yourself. “You might not be feeling like working at 100%, and that’s ok!” she says.
