Microsoft has announced new operating system for desktops, laptops, tablets and mobile named Windows 10. It is considered to be best of Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating systems.
Microsoft is welcoming feedback from development community to improve the new operating system by releasing raw form test version. It is advised to only be used by IT experts as it not the final product and troubleshooting needs to be done by user for some issues encountered.
So if you are feeling confident about it you can go ahead and download it, it is advised to install it on a secondary PC/HDD with no important data on it.

Consider following notes from Microsoft before proceeding further with installation:
  • Remember, trying out an early build like this can be risky. That's why we recommend that you don't install the preview on your primary home or business PC. Unexpected PC crashes could damage or even delete your files, so you should back up everything.
  • If you want to stop using Windows Technical Preview and return to your previous version of Windows, you'll need to reinstall your previous version from the recovery or installation media that came with your PC—typically a DVD. If you don't have recovery media, you might be able to create a USB recovery drive.
  • After you install Windows Technical Preview, you won’t be able to use the recovery partition on your PC to go back to your previous version of Windows.
