Re: Windows 10 for free?
According to Microsoft, anyone that uses Windows Update and has a genuine (legal) and activated copy of Windows 7, 8, or 8.1, on a machine capable of running Windows 10, will automatically get the "Get Windows 10" app that they can use to reserve their copy of Windows 10. After Windows 10 is released on July 29th, everyone that has a genuine and activated copy of Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 will get the app to get their free upgrade. Apparently, just in case the automatic compatibility check fails, you won't have to pass that test to get a free upgrade. You only have to pass the compatibility test to reserve your upgrade prior to the Windows 10 release.
Also, it sounds like when you reserve your upgrade to Windows 10, the hardware information of the machine you use to reserve the upgrade is sent to Microsoft's activation servers, so the Windows 10 key you get will already be assigned to that machine. It also sounds like upgrade requested after the Windows 10 rel ease, won't be pre-assigned, so you can order a free upgrade from a machine other than the one it is going to be used on.
The version of Windows 10 will be the same as the Windows you ordered the upgrade from. So if you order the upgrade from a Windows Home Premium system, you'll get Windows 10 Home.
A couple of months ago, I heard on the news that Microsoft was abandoning Internet Explorer so Windows 10 would not ship with one. All that would be provided was a minimal browser called Startan who's only purpose in life would be to download your choice of Chrome or Firefox or some other browser you like. Microsoft must have changed their minds, because now they say that Windows 10 will come with a browser, something new they call Edge.
Sounds to me like they're a bit confuse over there in Belview. :\
