Win 10 has so many improvements from both 7/8(8 had many improvements over 7 but too many poor UI changes) The OS runs smooth, my PC has suffered less crashes since switching from 7 to 10. Currently on Build 10041. Windows 10 is 'free' forever. There is no subscription model. The only way that a subscription model would come in is if they introduced it and you decide to buy it. As it stands it works the same way as every windows version beforehand. The 1 year is a one year period that you can avail of the upgrade. @reggin_bolas If you are able to run Windows to download and install this then it should fix whatever problem you are having. However if you are unable to run windows you won't be able to access the reserve page. You may need to upgrade from a disc/usb drive. Installing an OS works from the boot menu so if your current version of Windows doesn't work, it won't effect you installing or reinstalling a new version of Windows. I use this technique to 'fix' computers all the time |
I do often wonder what people are doing in W7 for it to be crashing multiple times, my current laptop is just 3yo and has never crashed, my previous one was originally on Vista but I upraded to 7 about 1 week after I bought it back in 2009... I think I recall it crashing twice, both times when trying to run Mass Effect which it clearly wasn't capable of. My games consoles have crashed more and they are meant to be stable systems.
(XP on the other hand I definitely remember crashing a few times)
