Enjoy great new features and a familiar environment where you feel you already an experienced user directly. In addition, Windows 10 keeps you up-to-date and secure with built-in security. The upgrade version is quick and easy and you do not have to worry about the safety of your documents. Download the upgrade on time because this free offer is temporary. * Sign up now for your upgrade. its microsoft if u believe that for real u ll pay for that.....microsoft always leaves loop holes for ppl to figure out a backdoor to ...why they always coming out with updates on reg basis....just saying

The free upgrade applies only to Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1. So if you haven't upgraded Windows 7 to SP1 or Windows 8 to 8.1, you'll have to perform those tasks first. Also, you have one year from July 29 to upgrade your PC to Windows 10 for free. After that year is up, you'll presumably have to purchase Windows 10 yourself. Edited June 2, 2015 by LOCO Awards

Look for yourself on the Microsoft website for the true story. The offer is good for one year, once done you have it for as long as they support it. Anti-viruses will be one of the programs that require updating to work as they use OS functionality for scanning, they will of course have to update whereas most programs will run fine. Do you actually use media player? I have always used VLC for DVDs - I wouldn't call that 'special' software. The news article cites: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-specifications as its source which says things slightly differently its microsoft if u believe that for real u ll pay for that.....microsoft always leaves loop holes for ppl to figure out a backdoor to ...why they always coming out with updates on reg basis....just saying They don't do it purposefully and that is the case for all operating systems, I apply similar updates to the Linux systems I run as well as to the Windows systems. @nisty hey maybe i was wrong i did some digging found few articles that said u can upgrade to win 10 even if ur copy of win7 is not legit...apparently they doin this so u will eventually have to buy 10 to be legitimate windows 10 owner tho....here article i found for u ..... http://www.tomshardware.com/news/windows-pirate-bootleg-security-patches,7666.html There was rumour that they would allow free upgrades to those using bootleg versions but as it is not mentioned anywhere on their website I would say those rumours have been falsified. Don't panic everyone, is correct in what he said in a previous post, this offer is on for a year, imagine that will be a year from it's release on July 29th i think, so nobody has to download and install it straight away, we can all wait awhile and see how it develops.

But that was my understanding when I read the article. That if you upgrade in the first 12 months from July (whatever) it is free until July 28/16 and you have it until the new OS comes out. Either way I'll try it and see. Also it gives me an excuse for my wife to go buy 2 new 2 TB HD. Back up purpouses of course. Me Stringer 1
