Windows 10 will be released in the summer. According to the company, computers running Windows 7 or 8 will be able to upgrade without any financial burden.
This offer is only valid for 12 months after the release of Windows 10. If you don't upgrade within that time, you'll have to pay for the new operating system at a price which has yet to be revealed by the company.
However, there are several rumors that Microsoft plans to extend this offer and have free upgrades even after the end of the first year of operating system release.
However, a publication in the Microsoft Affiliate Network in Australia (Microsoft Australian Partner Network), the company has officially confirmed that after a year, all those who are still running Windows 7 and 8 will have to pay to upgrade to Windows 10.
“Microsoft will offer a free upgrade to Windows 10 for users of Windows 7, 8 and Windows Phone 8.1 in the first year. After the first year, upgrades will be charged as well product will be released boxed and with VL Upgrades,” the publication says.
Ορισμένοι πιστεύουν ότι τα Windows 10 θα είναι δωρεάν μόνο κατά τη διάρκεια του πρώτου έτους διαθεσιμότητας τους, αλλά η Microsoft τόνισε ότι από τη στιγμή που κάποιος αναβαθμίσει σε αυτήν την νέα έκδοση, θα μπορεί να συνεχίσει να χρησιμοποιεί το λειτουργικό system free for the lifetime of the device.
As far as the Windows XP upgrades are concerned, as we mentioned yesterday, Russian leaker Wzor claims that old system users will be able to get Windows 35 with 10 euros, but they will also need upgrades to their computer hardware to be able to use the new operating system.
