Microsoft officially revealed more Win10 first year free upgrade information

  

Microsoft made a commitment at the Windows 10 conference on January 21 this year. After the official release, existing Windows 7/8/8.1 users will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free in the first year. This part of the user guess may be "one year free Windows license", but this understanding is biased, Microsoft said in the official Windows blog: "Users will continue without the additional cost, after the upgrade, the device will continue Enjoy the life cycle of the current system. ”

This means that users who currently have Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 licenses will not only be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free, but will be able to receive patch updates at no additional cost in the future. Those OEM licenses and independently purchased genuine ones enjoy the service, but Windows 10 is not free for new users who try the technology preview.

In addition, not all versions of Windows 10 are free, the enterprise version will not be upgraded to the Windows 10 platform for free, but for example, just released Raspberry Pi 2 and desktop PC, notebook, tablet and other consumer Level devices are available for free upgrades. Gabriel Aul said in the tweet that it can only be determined that existing consumer devices can be upgraded for free, but the final price of Windows 10 is not yet announced.
