Getting Windows 10?

To be honest I'm happy with 8.1. I might update my old Laptop to W10 just to see how it flies and I got the Windows 7 install disc stuff. So if I'm not happy with it I can just wipe it and go back to W7. Either way I plan on waiting for at least 4 months before I jump. I'm leery of the possibility of some sort of MTs.

Nah, sticking with win7, don't see any need to upgrade at this stage.



No i'm a ubuntu user now

My PC crashed harddrive screwed up and I no longer have access to a legit Windows 7. I'll upgrade to WIndows 10 unless it's as bad as Windows 8. I think Windows 8 is garbage.

How do you lose access? If you HDD died. Just put a new one in and use your legal CD key again, when you install W7.

Windows 10 is free for the first year then it's a $25 a month subscription so no I will stick with windows 8.1.


This isn't correct at all. There is no monthly or anual subscription. Once you own it you will get updates for life. You can pay a service fee (or whatever they are calling it) to get smaller, more regular updates instead of waiting for all of the updates to be released in a service pack. That is optional though, and eventually you will still get all of the updates in a released service pack.

Source? I want a source for both of you btw and it better not just be speculation cause MS has confirmed that there will not be a fee for it


Not trying to be mean, but you obviously have internet access. All you have to do is go to Google and search for "Windows 10 subscription".

You can still buy Windows 10 outright and not have to worry about this. If you get the "free upgrade" then you're going to be restricted on when you get the updates (not if) unless you pay the subscription fee (whatever that will be).

None of that says anything about an "optional payment" for updates... Both of those say that there will be no subscription model

Not trying to be mean, but you obviously have eyes, so maybe you should learn to read

I do apologize. I skimmed what you said, and I missed the "not just be speculation" part. It is all speculation. Microsoft won't confirm or deny it, but, based on what they have said, it is likely that they are going to be subscription-esque.
