Just yesterday we reported on the fact that Samsung was telling its customersnot to update to Windows 10.Today, Samsung is apologizing for that and is instead advising customers to visit the Samsung website for more detailed information on the Windows 10 upgrade.

In an updated storypublished on TheRegister, (which originally reported on the Samsung situation,) a Samsung spokesperson notes that, “a customer service representative mistakingly provided incorrect information about Windows 10 upgrades for Samsung Notebooks.” The spokesperson also notes:

We would like to remind our customers that they can visit the Samsung website where there is detailed information on the Windows 10 upgrade applicability for each Samsung notebook model run by Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.

So, with with theWindows 10 Anniversary Updatejust about a month away, this could be seen as better news for Samsung customers who would like to upgrade and get the latest features out of the Windows 10 operating system.
