It is now known that Windows 10 will come free to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users. Microsoft has revealed all the details of the upgrade by announcing which version of Window 10 is going to get Windows 7 users free of charge.
Για παράδειγμα, όποιος τρέχει αυτή τη στιγμή τα Windows 7 Starter, τα Windows 7 Home Basic, και τα Windows 7 Home Premium θα μπορεί να αναβαθμίσει δωρεάν σε Windows 10 Home, ενώ αυτοί που τρέχουν τα Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate on their computers they will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro.
The company also adds that "the N and KN versions will receive upgrades as well as the motherboard version (eg Windows 7 Professional N to Windows 10 Pro)."
In the case of Windows 8.1, they can upgrade to Window 10 Home, while computers running Windows 8.1 Pro and Windows 8.1 Pro for students will receive Window 10 Pro.
Windows Phone 8.1 will also receive Window 10 Mobile for free.
Για τους υπολογιστές με Windows 7, το Service Pack 1 είναι υποχρεωτικό για να μπορούν να λάβουν την free upgrade και στην περίπτωση που δεν το έχετε εγκαταστήσει ακόμα, ίσως παρατηρήσετε ότι το Windοws 10 app που εμφανίζει ειδοποιήσεις στον υπολογιστή σας, ενδέχεται να μην λειτουργεί.
It would be good for all those who are interested in upgrading older systems to make sure they get all the available updates from the company before 29 July.
Needless to say, since the upgrade offer is for consumers only, the businesses running Windows 7 Enterprise, or Windows 8 / 8.1 Enterprise and Windows RT/RT 8.1 will not receive free upgrades to Windows 10.
