Microsoft expected to unveil new Windows 10 devices at October 6 event

Microsoft Corp is expected to soon unveil a new set of devices to run on its largest operating system Windows 10.

It has sent out invitations for an event on October 6, where it is expected to unveil these new devices.

"We're eager to share some exciting news about Windows 10 devices," a Microsoft spokeswoman said.

Microsoft is expected to unveil devices such as the Surface Pro 4 tablet, the Microsoft Band 2 wearable fitness tracker and the latest Lumia smartphones at the event.

Microsoft launched Windows 10 in July, almost three years after the launch of its previous operating system, Windows 8.

The new OS, designed to work across laptops, desktops and smartphones, is part of the company's push to win back lost ground in tablets and mobiles.
