Can't wait until October? Here are a couple of ways you can try out the new features in OS X Yosemite right now. See also: Yosemite release date, price and new features
Apple's new version of OS X will be released, most likely for free, in October this year. That's not far away at all, but if you just can't wait and want to install the pre-release version, you have several options.
The easiest, but most costly, is to become an Apple developer. You don't actually have to create apps for OS X: anyone can pay their $99 and sign up for a developer account. You can then download and install OS X Yosemite to your compatible Mac.
How to get OS X Yosemite now for free
If you don't want to shell out the best part of £60, there are other ways to get Yosemite, but we neither endorse nor recommend you try them.
One is to download the OS from a file-sharing site such as IMZDL. However, this is obviously not an Apple-approved method and might get you into trouble.
Don't forget that, like any pre-release software, using the beta of OS X Yosemite is a bad idea if you'll be installing it on your main machine. If you are going to try it out, then it's best to do so on a second laptop or desktop where it doesn't matter if it crashes or is unstable.
