Top PCs for the new Windows 10

After July 29, 2015, laptops, desktops, and tablets will be eligible to upgrade from Windows 7 or 8 to Windows 10.

Users who own the “home” edition of the Windows 7 or 8OS will be able to download the Windows 10 Home edition right from their devices at no cost for up to a year. Those who have the OS on their business computers with other versions should be able to get discounted rates and choose from seven different Windows 10 versions.

According to PC makers, few devices will ship after July 29 with the software preinstalled. The best bet for consumers is to download Windows 10 directly onto their laptops. Below is a list of well-suited laptops that can run the OS flawlessly from the onset.

Toshiba Kirabook

This light and sturdy 13-inch laptop has higher-resolution display and a touchscreen. It will hold up well to the minimization of ads with the new Windows 10.

Lenovo Yoga 3

What you see is a thin 14-inch laptop that appears valuable, but what you don’t notice is that it has two hinges that work to make the laptop rotate 360 degrees. It’s a computer and tablet all in one, which will suit the new OS.

Microsoft Surface Pro 3

As Microsoft’s mothership and what could be considered the first laptop replacement as it comes closest in usability, this device should stay true to its name with the new Windows update. The Surface includes a precision touchpad, which is required for some of the new Windows 10 gesture features. The two should be a perfect match.

Dell XPS 13

The screen, the glass, and aluminum that surround the display are just a few millimeters thick. Its minimalist design and respectable performance (given its size) makes the Dell XPS 13 one of the highest-quality laptop best suited for Windows 10.

Acer Revo One

This compact-designed desktop is not big and bulky like most desktops, which are an awkward match for the Windows 8 tile interface. It will be a seamless match for the Windows 10 update.

HP Stream 11

The HP Stream 11-inch is one of the smallest and affordable laptops. Even this can get use of the new Windows 10 installment. The new Edge Web browser and quicker access to settings makes the laptop easier for use.

Microsoft Surface 3

This tiny version of Microsoft’s mothership runs a lower-clocked Intel processor and features a smaller display. However, as a Microsoft-designed tablet-laptop hybrid, it will run well with Windows 10.
