With Windows 10 coming on July 29, you'll want to make sure your PC, applications and various devices will all play nice before you reserve and upgrade. Fortunately, Microsoft has made it easy to do within the Get Windows 10 tool that appears on all copies of Windows 7 and 8.

Upgrading your copy of Windows to 10 should be seamless, but you want to make sure set up is actually ready beforehand. That new Windows icon down in your system tray will let you do more than reserve your copy of Windows 10 for free. As Fatima Wahab at AddictiveTips points out, it can also check your whole system to make sure everything is all set for the upgrade. It's pretty simple to do:

* Click the Get Windows 10 icon in your system tray in the lower-right section of your desktop.
* Click the hamburger menu in the upper-left corner.
* Under "Getting the upgrade," select Check your PC.

If you're all set and ready for the upgrade when it comes, you'll be given a good to go message. Otherwise, you'll see a list of devices and apps that aren't supported.

Device issues could mean a monitor won't display properly at the highest resolution, or some speakers won't be able to play audio with the upgrade. Apps that are listed as unsupported will need to be uninstalled before you start the upgrade process. Of course, a driver update or patch install may fix those issues as well, so check again if you can find updates.

In no time One Plus revealed another feature of its upcoming product One Plus 2.

Making the announcement on its Google+ page and Twitter, the company spokesperson posted, "Our second spec revealed: The OnePlus2 will be the first flagship smartphone to use the latest Type C USB. We want to lead the way in power connectivity." 

The highlight of the USB Type-C cable is that it's reversible so you don't need to check which side of the connector is up while inserting it. The Type-C port on the OnePlus 2 could allow file transfer speeds up to 10Gbps and allow the smartphone to charge faster. 

At the moment, Apple's new 12-inch MacBook is one of the few devices to feature the USB Type-C port. Chinese device maker LeTV had also launched phones with USB Type-C but the devoces are available only in China. 

OnePlus had recently confirmed that the OnePlus 2 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor version 2.1. 

"Although there have been reports that the 810 runs warmer than its predecessors, we assure you that we have taken all the necessary precautions and beyond to prevent this from occurring in the 2. We worked very closely with Qualcomm's engineers to integrate an improved version of the chipset (v2.1) in the OnePlus 2, and fine-tuned both hardware and software. The 2 will be "cooler than ever," it said in a blog post addressing heating concerns around the processor. 

It's likely that the OnePlus 2 will be introduced in July although the company has given a Q3 timeline.

The new model will also be powered by the 64-bit Snapdragon 410 processor, with four cores running 1.4GHz. Its Antutu benchmark score is reportedly higher too at 23355, compared to the 17976 score of the second-generation model.
Moto G (Gen 3) will run on Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) operating system out-of-the-box. Like Moto E (Gen 2), the upcoming smartphone will support 4G networks.

The biggest upgrade to Moto G will be the camera resolution, jumping straight from an 8MP rear camera to a 13MP primary shooter, which will be accompanied by dual LED flash. The front camera also gets more suited for selfies with 5MP resolution, up from the 2MP front shooter of the second-generation Moto G.

The leaked images also show that Motorola has updated the design of Moto G's back panel with the third-generation variant.We have to wait for some more time to know more about it.
