Wonder if my Windows 8.1 Pro copy will get a free upgrade to 10 pro or just 10 home?

it will be pro

this is one of the greatest thing that has happened to me recently, and it happened on this forum, those involved have my eternal gratitude http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/198850-update-alex-got-his-moto-g2-lets-get-a-moto-g-for-alexgoeshigh-unofficial/ :')

So x86 tablets get the Windows 10 Home or what? Cause windows 10 mobile still seams a bit stripped down version of windows hence limited storage space and resources on mobile, and because they mostly use ARM, and If I upgrade a win 8.1 tablet will I get a home version? will future x86 tablets get the home version? could I install the home version on for example the asus zenfone or other atom based devicies? There are still a lot question that are not clear for me when it comes to mobile devices.

I think it is for sucky low-cost tablets. It is probably free for them, or something. Just my guess.

sure you can. You can upgrade to Windows 10 Home for free.

Then you can pay an edition upgrade from home to pro. Something that is/was available in previous versions of Windows.

I'm curious about the Education edition.

 

I would love Microsoft long time if they start implementing tools for classrooms into Windows, such as a built in classroom management solution. Also a feature that will cause a computer to explode the moment a student starts messing with it.

Does anybody know how the upgrade will work? 

 

My laptop is eligible for the upgrade but can I use the key on my new build?

If I download the Windows 10 iso on release, I can just use my 8.1 Pro key, correct?

My PC specifications are in my profile.

I know most will get it with an upgrade but they should have released the prices too already, at least for the consumer stuff.
