Win7 users can upgrade to Win10 Preview via system update for only $30?

There are many ways to experience the Win10 Technology Preview, such as downloading the Win10 Technology Preview image and upgrading it directly, or by USB. However, there are now foreign media sources that some Win7 users have received updates to the Win10 Technology Preview via system updates.

At present, it is not certain whether Microsoft will provide a Win10 preview update update to Win7 users. Now through the system update of Win7, you can directly view the update option of Windows 10 Technology Preview, which can be downloaded and installed directly like the normal system upgrade patch. The system will then automatically upgrade to the Win10 Technology Preview without manual intervention. However, the caveat is that Win7 users need to join the Windows Insider Program and download a small file before they receive the Win10 update.

Microsoft has not yet released any official announcements or explanations regarding this update. Of course, this is not the first time Microsoft has done this. The Windows 8.1 system is pushed to Win8 users through the Windows Store. In the future, will Microsoft provide Win10 official version directly to Win7 users through system update? What is the specific upgrade strategy? How is the fee charged? Previously, there were Russian sources who reported that Win7 users had to pay $30 to upgrade to Win10 (about 184 yuan after direct conversion).
