From PC World: Windows 10 will arrive July 29th, but that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone will be ready to go on day one. Case in point: A Lenovo representative told Windows Central that the company will take orders for PCs with Windows 10 preinstalled on launch day, but that those machines won’t ship until about mid-August.
Why the delay? Look no further than Redmond. Microsoft released Windows 10 to PC makers (the so-called “RTM” or “released to manufacturing” build) later than it normally does, which seems to have some PC makers scrambling. A Microsoft rep went on record to say to expect Windows 10 PCs “very soon after” launch, but not on launch day itself.
Despite Microsoft’s statement, however, both HP and Dell say that they’ll have Windows 10 machines ready for launch. In HP’s case, you can order a Windows 10 PC through HP.com now and have it arrive on launch day, with PCs arriving at “select” retailers beginning August 2nd.
Dell will begin selling Windows 10 PCs on the 29th through its website, and if you opt for next-day shipping, you could have your new Windows 10 PC as early as July 30th.
