Microsoft said: genuine Win10 follow-up feature update will not charge consumers

One of the most important concerns for users is whether Microsoft will charge for subsequent updates to the Windows 10 system. The issue of on-going payment is used in both Office 365 and other company software products, especially when the first year of the Windows 10 system is free. In the Windows 10 test site, Microsoft made it very clear that it will continue to bring functionality and new features to the system without charging consumers.

Microsoft wrote on the Windows 10 website:

Better, once the eligible devices are upgraded to Windows 10, we will be in the device support lifecycle. Updates are continuously provided to ensure that the device is more secure while introducing more new features and functional modules without any additional cost.

It is worth pointing out that Microsoft will still provide "in-OS" services. Currently, Microsoft has not specified the detailed charging standards for the next few years. Even Windows 11 may not exist. Windows 10 is the last. Windows system. And there is no clear regulation about the "lifetime" of the device, so if you want to use the Windows 10 system on your laptop, you still need to purchase 5 years of permission through the OEM.
