So after 1 year free what?
I've read MS Windows 10 news. Do you know what happens after first free year? Will it be like Office 365 subscription? Or we can have Windows 10 upgrade for free? In my case, I'd like to have Full Version, not Upgrade.

You're welcome to a new thread by me, but you could look for similar subjects. Basically I don't think anyone KNOWS. We think but the wording in any news I've seen is a bit vague. IMO

In my case, I'd like to have Full Version, not Upgrade. From what I read although it seems a little vague, win7 and 8 users get the upgrade free for as long as you have that device.You must upgrade the first year after its release. If you wait and try upgrading after the first year then it will cost you. Maybe I am reading it wrong but I hope not.I run win 7 pro on 2 different pc's and win 8.1 on another although using Start8 to make it work like 7. All 3 of these work great and I am in no rush to upgrade so. I might even wait most of the first year before upgrading. A side note. All of this could be wishful thinking because it is not like Microsoft made win 7 free to cover Vista like they should have.It will probably change 5 times before win 10 official release!

I've done the same thing, so we're in the same boat. Have fun. Stick around, people will reply for sure.

In my case, I'd like to have Full Version, not Upgrade. Windows 7 and 8 users have one year to upgrade for free. That doesn't mean that you have one year to use the OS. It's not subscription-based. If you are a Windows 7 or 8 user, you can upgrade for free within one year of the release of Windows 10. After one year, you will have to pay for the upgrade. In either case, free upgrade or paid upgrade, the OS is not subscription based and you can use it as long as you wish.
