alt.comp.os.windows-8: I read that Windows 10 is a free upgrade from Win8.1. How do I do it? You don't. Windows 10 has not been released yet and Microsoft's upgrade policy has not been officially stated. You just have to be patient and wait. |

Not *is* a free upgrade; *will be* a free upgrade. When it is released, probably around the end of the year. When it is released, we will all find out how to get the free upgrade. |

It could be pre-installed on new PC's. Free with a new PC but then, if it needs to be upgraded, payment is required. Steve -- Neural Network Software for Windows http://www.npsnn.com |

Those news reports are wrong, Microsoft has been pretty clear about the free upgrade from 7, 8, and 8.1: if a user can upgrade for free within one year of the release of Windows 10. The OS will be updated for free for the life of the device. http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwin...ws-windows-10/ |
