It's not quite all. You can stay with Windows 7 for the next five

And how long can we stay with W8.1 for?

I only stayed with it for a few weeks. It was already installed on a
new laptop, otherwise my experience with the evaluation version would
have prevented me from bothering with it at all. I replaced the hard
drive with a solid state one, which I had planned to do anyway, so I
took the excuse to replace the operating system too.
