Windows 10 will be a free upgrade, but only for the first year of its existence. That includes upgrades from Windows 8.1 and Windows 7, along with smartphones running Windows Phone 8.1. Once you’ve updated your device, Microsoft says it will keep the software current for its “supported lifetime.”

It’s a smart move from Microsoft, which struggled to convince people to upgrade to Windows 8 when it first launched. There’s still no word on when the Windows 10 update will actually become available, but we’ll let you know as soon as that news is announced.

Well that's good, hope they release it soon!

Offer for good and not time limited which makes it even better.

lol that would be good, but atleast they are letting us use it and then we have the option to purchase it or not

Smart idea with most software companies already doing it.

lmao no one ever buy that.

hmmmm... I have a question:

I am an university student, so I can download the windows systems from the Microsoft Dreamspark.

If I download and install the Windows 8. Will I have the Windows 10 for free if I upgrade??

You can now upgrade to the technical preview, but wouldn't really recommend it.
