Some netizens asked on Twitter: &ldquo Your company needs to know exactly what it means to upgrade for free for one year. Does it mean that you need to pay an annual fee?"

In response, Gabe Aul, head of Microsoft Windows Insider project, replied:

“ Please allow me to close the door for you: (after the upgrade) Win10 will not take an annual payment method. ”

According to the plan announced by Microsoft, the first year after the official release of Win10, that is, from July 29, 2015 to July 29, 2016, if you are using Windows7 /Windows 8.1 genuine system, you will be able to upgrade to Win10 for free, and you will get a permanent free update after the upgrade. After one year, if you want to upgrade Win10, you will need to pay a certain fee. According to the current news, Win10 is the same price as Win8. However, Microsoft may also offer certain offers to attract older system users to upgrade to Win10. In short, the usage fee will not be charged annually after July 2016.

The cause of user confusion may be Microsoft's claim that "Win10 is Service", which allows users to assume that Win10 will subscribe by way of subscription. In fact, Win10 is a service representative on behalf of Microsoft will take a faster update frequency for Win10 to launch a feature update to replace the previous SP major update package.

 All eligible devices, after upgrading to Win10, we will continue to provide updates throughout the life of the device, keep the device in a safe state, and continue to provide new feature updates, all of which It is free. ” Microsoft stressed.
