While I like the idea of a free upgrade there are too many possible strings attached and for me at least 40$ is not a big issue. And how do you build a new PC?? If you have one set up you could...

I had two licenses for Win7 but I gave them away since I have no use for them.

I think that there will be a low price for the first year that Win10 comes out. Well, I hope there is. :)

I understand how you feel. On one hand Windows 8.1 is still a very good OS and with a third party start menu it's just like Win10, IMO. And while the Windows 10 start menu is nice and with the...

Nuts... I hope that doesn't happen because how would people who build new PC's get a copy of Win10. You would have to download a full copy to install fresh on a new PC that didn't have Win7/Win8.1 on...

Not sure to be honest.. I recall that MS posted an upgrade path and it showed that an ISO would be available but no mention of that since some time ago. If the ISO is available for free then I'll...

Ok.. well for me, at least,, my plan is to first get the upgrade and then to get the full ISO from NewEgg/Amazon.

And as for my favorite OS.. well.. it's far to early to make a decision on Win10....
