Microsoft launched an online emulator that allows users to try out the Windows 10 experience prior to getting an upgrade.

Overall, the emulator covers three sections that include Windows 10 for PC, Windows 10 for Tablets and Windows 10 Mobile.

Upon going to Microsoft's official Windows 10 Emulator site, users will find a faux laptop and recorded videos where they can get a glimpse of how things are done in Windows 10.

First, users would see the question "What would you like to do?" on the screen which is then followed by 11 topics that are ready for clicking and exploring. These include work across my devices; meet Cortana; get more done; stay organized; get apps and more; personalize my PC; keep in touch; browse the web; manage my photos; have more fun; and find my way with maps.

There are some slight differences in the topics depending on whether the user is viewing the demo on a PC, tablet or mobile device. For both the tablet and mobile device, users will find the topic "take and share photos" instead of "manage my photos" found on the PC.

Mobile device users will also view 10 topics instead of 11, as the topic "stay organized" will not be accessible.

Of course, the topic "personalize my PC" would change depending on what type of device is used ("personalize my tablet" and "personalize my phone").

It also seems like Microsoft has been adding some new subtopics to its emulator, which vary depending on the device that is used. Windows 10 for PC has new subtopics called instantly unlock my PC and make a Skype call, with the latter also being present in Windows 10 for tablet and Windows 10 mobile.

Windows 10 mobile has the most number of new subtopics added to the emulator. These include dictate my notes; respond to texts quickly; instantly unlock my phone; turn my phone into a PC; keep on top of my emails; project to a big screen; sync my favorites; organize my photos automatically; watch movies and stay connected; and find my car.

Microsoft's offer of free upgrades to Windows 10 will remain available until July 29, 2016. Users with qualified Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 devices are eligible to get the free upgrade.
