Can I Upgrade my Computer to Windows 10 for Free?
| Windows 10, the latest version of Windows, will be released on 29th July. The new Windows OS has received rave reviews from people who are currently testing it as part of the Windows Insider program but there has been some confusion around the upgrade path. Will you be eligible to download a free upgrade of Windows 10 or will you have to pay for the license?
Who Can Download Windows 10 for Free?This quick flowchart breaks it down in simple English. If you have a computer that is running a genuine copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, you will get a free upgrade license of Windows 10. If you are running a pirated copy of Windows, or if you have Windows Vista or XP installed on the machine, you’ll buy a new license for Windows 10 and perform a clean install. The Windows 10 Home license will be $119.99 while the Windows 10 Pro version would cost $199.99. If you would like to try Windows 10 but without affecting your existing Windows installation, you can join the Windows Insider program, download the Windows 10 ISO and install it as a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox. These preview builds will however expire after some time and the fresh builds are automatically installed as and when they become available. You can follow the official Windows blog to learn more about the upcoming Windows 10 release or join the Windows Insider program to download and use the Windows 10 beta before it is generally available.

How to get a Postal Address (Wasel Aalami) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - Step by Step Guide (Updated)
Originally Posted on Saturday, March 1, 2014:
KSA did not have an established mailing system through which you could get a mail or parcel sent to your home. To get a mail you had to open a PO box in your nearest Saudi Post office and you would have to check it by physically visiting it regularly, if you are expecting a mail. So it was not convenient and kind of strange for expats because like for me, I have been receiving letters at my home since I learned how to write and send a letter, back in Pakistan.
Yesterday when I was visiting the Saudi Post section in Janadriyah Festival, I came to know about a new service which has been introduced by Saudi Government and is called Wasel Aalami. If you would like to know more about Janadriyah Festival you can visit this link: Event: Janadriyah Annual Heritage & Culture Festival 29 (2014) (Updated)
Through this service you can get a recognized mailing address for your home FREE of charge. The people available there were very helpful, one guy knew English and he guided and translated the process for me. They registered me for this service and I got my mailing address, you can do the following to get this service:
- Visit http://www.locator.com.sa/locator/Default_E.aspx and choose your Region from the Drop Down Menu on the left.
- Then choose your city and District from the Drop Down Menus. The map on the right will zoom accordingly.
- Now find your building on the map by navigating and zooming the map, once you are sure about your building, note down its four digit number. This is your Building Number.

- Now you have to visit the nearest branch of Saudi Post for the registration of Wasel Aalami, you can find the nearest branch on the same map
- Upon arriving the Saudi Post, seek for the appropriate counter, it would have this symbol:
- Provide them with you Building Number, Floor and Apartment Number, Mobile Number, Iqama Number and they will perform the registration and will provide you with print out which would contain your complete postal mailing address details. You would receive an SMS for the registration confirmation but the SMS might be in Arabic.
- This paper would also contain Wasel Aalami number, which you can use for Free Shipment from Amazon.com.
Update(20-06-2015): Saudi Post has recently renovated their website and there is no English section in it at the moment, I am hopping that they will launch it soon, I have asked them this question on social media, lets see if they respond. That’s why the following links are not working.
- Now once you are back home, verify your address by visiting this link: http://www.sp.com.sa/English/Eservices/Pages/CheckNewPostalAddress.aspx
- Enter the information from the print out in the appropriate fields and press ‘Submit’.
- If you are registered in the system then it should show you the following msg:
