The free upgrade to Windows 10 has arrived. Here's what to expect.
Microsoft's Windows 10 is available as a free upgrade starting today for many users of Windows 7 or 8. Anyone who has the home or professional versions of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or Windows 8.1 now has a year to take advantage of the offer. If you have plain Windows 7 or 8, you'll have to upgrade them first -- for free. Microsoft has more details about how to upgrade to Windows 10 here. But when it comes to operating systems, familiarity breeds contempt of change. A lot of consumers feel that if it ain't broke, stop touching my computer.

Windows 10 review – final version of Windows might be Microsoft's best ever
Microsoft's last version of Windows is finally here: Windows 10 is arguably the best version of the ubiquitous operating system. But the question is, should you upgrade for free immediately? Or will it be another Windows 8 moment? Windows 10 is a big step towards the Microsoft classic becoming an always-connected operating system for every device, not just PCs, which is continuously updated for free. It'll run traditional desktop Windows apps, like Windows 7.

Microsoft will offer Windows 10 for free in July | Technology
Windows 10 will be released as a free update on 28 July, Microsoft has announced. It will be the last major release of the 29-year-old operating system before Microsoft switches to a "Windows as a service" system, which entails updates being rolled out when ready. This marks a change in Microsoft's business model. The operating system will be offered as a free upgrade for users of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 within the first year. Each version of Windows has cost upwards of 100, although the majority of Windows users receive new versions of the operating system when buying a new computer, and not by upgrading the software themselves.
