Windows 10 Will Be Free For Windows 8.1, 7 And Windows Phone 8.1 Users

It wasn’t so long ago that Microsoft would charge big bucks to consumers looking to grab the next version of its Windows operating system, but as part of the major event today unleashing new info on the upcoming Windows 10 software, it has been confirmed that those on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 will be able to make the jump without having to pay

“There are, as you might expect, one or two catches…………………………Notably, it’ll only be free for the 12-month period…………………………….it could be construed as a thinly-veiled ploy to get everybody switching early.”

Too many people across many different platforms, trying to get to the same level - makes sense. Plus, OSX has done it for the past few prompting people daily to jump to Yosemite!

I'm guessing the functionality will also be severely reduced.

Look at manufacturers, they already get Windows 8.1 (With Bing) for free. For most people it's enough, but it is severely lacking in functions I would consider normal, especially when for example I purchased a 'business laptop' with it installed and i couldn't even add it to a domain

some info
