Joint hogger Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 what also concerns me in the long run is how much will MS will want for a licence for the "free" upgrade & as others have mentioned, will they go down the same route as MS office's & charge you monthly, fuck that, open office does the same for free & besides paying for a new OS, my copy of w7 pro is the retail version & cost me £150, so im not keen on ditching it for no reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildbill Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Microshaft have said that 10 upgrades will be free for the lifetime of the computer. I wasnt offered last time I booted 7. Not that I can really see the point of "reserving" a download. More like an assurance not to be screwed around imo. Got to be an upgrade rather than fresh install surely, or XP users will try and grab a copy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggles41 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Got my copy of W7 off Software For Students for about £30 after running crappy pirated versions of XP for years. I like it and I need it as I'm a gamer. I've registered for the free upgrade; easy enough to de-install it if I don't like it is my thinking.

farmer ged Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Apparently 10 downloads gradually to your computer between now and launch ready to install at launch. They are giving it free as they want everyone on 10 because they are creating an "app store" like apples and androids. I also think they want to reduce the amount of versions they have to offer support and patches/service packs etc and will say there is no need to support for any other version as 10 can be had free. Effectively forcing everyone to upgrade, so they can sell you stuff through their store. I have yet to find out if it is available as a complete install or just an upgrade. I think they will offer a complete install to allow users of older windows, that cant upgrade their copy, to get involved with the paid for apps.The minimum requirements to run it are quite low allowing even older computers to use it and imo this is so that they can push everyone to use it. On the plus side, it is supposed to be quite good according to people using the beta version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Kruger Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hmm still running on vista ultimate here, hated 8.1 on the lappie but like the reports and look of 10. Perhaps that time to upgrade has come and its free. * note to self read the small print and terms of use in detail before upgrading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degsy Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 For the reason that microsoft seem to be pushing everybody to upgrade I'm naturally suspicious and windows 7 works great for me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
