Windows 10 free

[les_taxi]

Soon legit users of Windows will get the free upgrade. I noticed the Windows symbol had appeared on my task bar the other day. Open it and you can register for your free upgrade when it's available.

Strange that Microsoft are giving something free?
I will need to look at the changes from Win 7 to make sure I am not jumping too quick :omg:

This update was released a couple of days ago. I'll wait for Windows 9 :cwm24:

[imagine]

i read something about a month ago im sure it was free windows 10, what i read was at the time they were focusing the offer to the asian market,china/ philippines ect, because there are many using pirate windows or illegal copies, they wanted that they would get free windows 10, but it also said that no pirate programs will work on windows 10,

[imagine]

iv also noticed an icon on my bottom task bar, hovered over it and it says get Windows 10 now, this appeared a few days ago

Yes I saw an ad for Windows 10 a couple of days ago, also one for Windows 8 last year, but I dare not click on anything in case anything changes and then I'd have no Idea what to do, I'd end up throwing the computer in the bin and buy a new one. I'll stick with my Windows 7 :xxgrinning--00xx3:

i had Windows 8, it kept hastling me to up it to 8.1, i kept delaying, then one day it installed it without asking, but its ok, i wont be looking to Windows 10

[raynaputi]

I have to install all pending Windows update first in my laptop to upgrade from Windows 8 to 8.1 pro. I tried updating to 8.1 and it won't allow me. This will be a long day...:NoNo:

i had no problems, but thats why i kept delaying it because better to wait until they have resolved all new drivers thats needed

[Dedworth]

The icon appeared on my desktop yesterday - Windows 7 working fine so I'll leave it that way

[les_taxi]

I will happily be the tester if you like, Windows 8 was a disaster which made then release Windows 8.1.
Hopefully Windows 10 will be good. As for it not working pirated games, don't believe that for one second :biggrin:

[les_taxi]

Also remember many people would not budge from xp then after trying Windows 7 they realised it was much better than xp.

Updates for Windows 10 will only be available to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users I think..so I really need to update to 8.1 to get 10.

i much prefered w 7 than 8, i never had xp , i had whaterver it was called before xp, then straight on to vista, then 7, now 8.1

I can see that icon on my taskbar but knowing my luck I'll go from Windows 8 to Windows 98.

With your home page dominated by a picture of Gary Neville :icon_lol:

Windows 10 is free for the first year, after that you pay. I'm beta testing 10 now, can't say that I'm impressed.

No, it's free as long as you take advantage of the offer within the first year. After it's been out a year and you then decide to get it you pay. So the early bird catches the worm so to speak. Retail price if you leave it till then is about £70

Is that not what I said :Erm:

[les_taxi]

Yes and no lol
To me it sounded like everyone will pay after a year's use
sorry see your point

[KeithD]

I've got the notification on both my systems now. Poor Rayna is still waiting for hers :omg:

[imagine]

think I will just wait and see how everyone else enjoys it first :Erm:

[jonnijon]

Won't get notifier on mine :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:

They have gone back to start menu etc should be good :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I just finished upgrading to Windows 8.1 and currently checking for updates. I'm sure I'd get that Windows 10 notification soon! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[grahamw48]

I'm still trying to get my AGP graphics card to work after upgrading from XP to Win 7. :bigcry:

[Iani]

It can only be an improvement on Windows 8. I wanted to UPGRADE to Windows 7 from that but couldn't.

Then the update of 8.1, they brought back what looked like a start button - but the people's celebrations only lasted seconds, when they realised clicking it just put them back to a different screen. Ask Microsoft why?

"Because **** you, that's why"..........was their response

Windows 8 is a bloody nightmare which makes Vista look good

[imagine]

yeah vista was far better than 8,

though I never had xp, the best for me after vista was 7,

8 is just a total failure
