Windows 10 free upgrade


[VIVΛ HH] KЯΛVΛTIΞ

Recommended Posts

"Importantly, Windows 10 will be free for existing Windows users running versions of Windows back to Windows 7. That includes Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and Windows Phone. Microsoft specified it would only be free for the first year, indicating Windows would be software that users subscribe to, rather than buy outright."

This is more than a one-time upgrade: once a Windows device is upgraded to Windows 10, we will continue to keep it current for the supported lifetime of the device – at no cost. With Windows 10, the experience will evolve and get even better over time. We’ll deliver new features when they’re ready, not waiting for the next major release. We think of Windows as a Service – in fact, one could reasonably think of Windows in the next couple of years as one of the largest Internet services on the planet.

"supported lifetime of the device" is the key.

Lol yea they could say. Here's Windows 10 however support ends in Jan 2017 with the release of Windows 11 at $20/month... even ten a month is too much... if they do that I guess I'll "make" mp work in Linux...

Keep dreaming about Linux kingdom one day, not going to happen. :) Imagine a community that does not even embrace their own offspring Android as their own. They are doomed to loose. Android is closest to popularity as Linux can get. Real world does not work on idealism.

Ive heard that if you have windows 8 or 8.1 it's a free update but if you have windows 7 then it is free for a year

I've heard and multiple people are "confirming" it, that if you upgrade from windows 7, 8 or 8.1 within the year, it's free and you have it for free "forever". No monthly costs or a surprise cost after that year.
