Users who had previously reserved the upgrade will be targeted first, the company said in a statement emailed to CBC News.
“The new experience has begun to roll out in a phased approach to more Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 customers, although we do not have any information to share at this time with respect to individual regions.”
Previously, the newest version of the Windows operating system was an “optional” update.
