Windows 10 ?

[Whiskey 7]

So what is the story here?

I ask because an icon just appeared bottom left hand corner on my W7 Ultimate (64bit) and I clicked it.
It offers Windows 10 for free

This cannot be true can it?

I will search the subject but ask for thoughts.

Short story: yes it's true. Windows 7 and 8 owners get a free upgrade.

[phantasmagoria]

So can I do a format/reinstall and put a fresh free copy of win10 on or do I get one upgrade which I can apply once to my copy of windows 7 and then that's it?

[MKJ]

The latter I think, tho even unverified versions of win7/8 will upgrade.
a disc release is planned later this year.

so who here is going to take advantage of this?

Windows 10 looks to be pretty awesome, let's hope they don't ruin it. It looks to be everyone 8 should have been.

Anyone who has win 8 and doesn't deserves to die in a fire...

This is a good thing since Windows 8.1 sucks

I probably will.

I wonder if I should do a clean install of my W7 before
I guess the W10 process will do it all anyway.
Better start backing up my stuff.

[scared?]

Backing up stuff on your computer is so 1998... Grow up chump...

at least microsoft are consistent: every other OS they release sucks walrus dicks, so 10 should be good

[Scourge]

I'm definitely doing it. I've been running the tech preview and updates for a few months now. Much better than 8 imo.

Am I the only moran still running XP? Never found a reason to upgrade...

Actually, no it doesn't

Looks like you are. Big reason to upgrade is security.

I will wait a bit before upgrading. Win7 is working just fine for me right now, and I'm sure there will be bugs and problems in the beginning that I would rather avoid.

I'll wait for the Win10 Service Pack 1 before I switch over.

Yes, I read the free upgrade offer is open for a year so not a bad idea at all Transient

Hmm, was planning on installing it but that sounds like a good reason to wait a bit.
