Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella decided to do something a bit different to help the company celebrate the launch of Windows 10. Instead of sticking around Redmond, Washington, Nadella went to a small town Kenya to help schools upgrade their PCs to Windows 10.

Microsoft posted a video of Nadella speaking from the town of Nanyuki, Kenya which is close to the equator. He explains that he will be helping schools in that region upgrade to Windows 10. He will be attending a big Windows 10 launch party in Nairobi today, which is one of 13 invite-only events that Microsoft is holding to promote the launch of the new PC operating system. Nadella is also posting about his Kenya trip on his Twitter account today.
