Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 will land on July 29, and that means that if you want to be ready for it when it arrives, you have a couple of months to prepare.
Let's take a look at what you need to know and do to get ready for this release.
The simple way to check for Windows 10 compatibility
If you're running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 and are eligible for the Windows 10 upgrade, you can use the built-in compatibility checker to test your system. Ssh connect virtual machine. If you want it to check the compatibility of peripherals they will need to be plugged in and active for it to work.
Manual checking - The basics
It's official: Beginning July 29, Microsoft will offer free Windows 10 upgrades to hundreds of millions of PCs. Here's how the Get Windows 10 (GWX) program works.
OK, so what do you need to run Windows 10? Well, fortunately for us, Microsoft has already published the system requirements for Windows 10. Fire that page up because I'm going to step through the important bits of this document.
First thing that should pull your attention is this:
'Basically, if your PC can run Windows 8.1, you're good to go. If you're not sure, don't worry--Windows will check your system to make sure it can install the preview.'
This is an oversimplification (we'll get to why in a moment), but it's a useful one nonetheless. Basically, most people running a Windows 8/8.1 system are good to go. And if you're not sure, the installer will run a check to make sure before trying to shoehorn the operating system onto hardware it's incompatible with.
So, what if you're not running Windows 8/8.1? How can you decide if your hardware is up to the challenge of running Windows 10? This is where the hardware specs come into play.
Here's what Microsoft says you need to run the Windows 10 preview:
Beyond the basics
Now if you're the sort of person who is a walking encyclopedia of tech trivia, then you might notice how these specs are the same as those for Windows 7. But there is one gotcha that you need to be aware of, and this only becomes apparent if you pull up the specs for Windows 8/8.1 and look closer at the processor specs:
So in order to be able to run Windows 10 (or Windows 8/8.1), you need a processor that supports PAE, NX, and SSE2. Without this, your Windows 10 fun comes to an end.
Microsoft offers a handy primer on what these mean.
There's more technical information on these features here.
What about new PCs?
As far as new hardware goes, this is what we can expect the OEMs to be shipping Windows 10 will ship on.
The following are excerpts from a presentation given by Microsoft at WinHEC 2015.

Upgrade path
To help with this Microsoft has offered up this upgrade matrix outlining the upgrade path to Windows 10:
Testing
So, how can you tell if your processor supports all of this? There are a few ways:
Featured
NX can be a pain in the behind because while your processor might support it, it could be disabled in the system BIOS, which then means having to dig around looking for the on switch.
To install a 64-bit version of Windows 8.1 (not Windows 8) on a 64-bit PC, your processor also needs to support CMPXCHG16b(which also, annoyingly, needs motherboard support, so it can be hard to test for), PrefetchW, and LAHF/SAHF, which adds more confusion. Fortunately, most people will have this already.
Some caveats
While most people running a relatively modern PC - say up to around three years old - shouldn't have a problem getting Windows 10 onto their PCs, there are some things to bear in mind.
The virtual machine route
If you'd rather play with Windows 10 from the comfort and safety of a virtual machine, you can either install it into something like VirtualBox ( these instructions for OS X will work on Windows), Hyper-V, or something like VMware Workstation. It all seems to work well as long as your hardware supports virtualization and your system has the grunt to run two operating systems side-by-side.
Here's a step-by-step look at how to install Windows 10 into VirtualBox. This is identical whether the host is Windows or OS X.

You could also experiment with a native boot VHD, although this is a kludgy and possibly buggy route to take.
What about running Windows 10 on a Mac?
Seems like Windows 10 runs well in Boot Camp (actually, on lower-spec Macs, it seems to run better than OS X itself, with is a bit of a black eye for Apple). While I've not carried out any proper testing, my experiences with Windows 10 on Macs has been very positive indeed, with performance, particularly user interface performance, being excellent. I've also experienced decent battery life, and rock-solid stability.
Again though, if you rely on running Windows on your Mac, don't throw caution into the wind and just nuke your existing Boot Camp installation. Take your time, back up your existing installation and give yourself plenty of time to test it properly.
Adding touch support to an existing PC
While not mandatory, running Windows 10 on a PC that has support for touch will allow you to get more from Windows 10. And you can do that without breaking the bank, either by adding a touch-enabled display, or upgrading your peripherals.

TL;DR
If you're running Windows 8/8.1 then you're probably good to go. If you're not then you can use the Windows 10 installer or the Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant to uncover any major issues. If you are eligible for the free upgrade, you can use the built-in compatibility checker.
However, neither of these are a substitute for in-depth testing. Given that Microsoft has been very transparent with Windows 10, releasing a number of updates, there really is little excuse for not doing your own testing on your hardware.

Windows 10 gives you a lot of options you can configure directly within the operating system, but on every laptop or desktop, there are some settings you can only change in the BIOS (basic input/output system). The BIOS is the software that is built into your computer's motherboard and controls everything from the boot order of your drives to preboot security options to whether the Fn key on your keyboard activates a function key or a media control.
Unfortunately, because the BIOS is a pre-boot environment, you can't access it directly from within Windows. On some older computers or those deliberately set to boot slowly, you can hit a function key such as F1 or F2 at power-on to enter the BIOS.
However, most computers made in the past four years boot Windows 10 too quickly to listen for a key press at startup. To access your BIOS on a Windows 10 PC, you must follow these steps.
