Windows 10 question

Go to solution Solved by Jade,

Windows 7 is still supported. XP isn't. We don't know if it'll be free if you have Windows 8.1 now. If you're willing to put up with bugs and having to reinstall when official release rolls around, you can install 10 now, otherwise, buy and use Windows 8.1.

So basicly I am building a new PC and want to get a new OS, because I do not wanna work with WIN7(You know no support anymore).

Is Windows 10 still going to be free if you grt Windows 8.1?

Should I wait for Windows 10 or buy Windows 8.1?

Would appriciate every help and information

windows 10 will not be free. Microsoft released a statement about that

windows 7 is barely supported

use the preview for now and get windows 10 when it comes out

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

1) Windows 7 is supported until 2020.

2)Nobody knows. It could be free, if could be paid. But waiting for a new OS is no reason to delay a PC build.
