Ok, so I bought Windows 8.1 from Amazon a couple of minutes ago and I won't install it on my new PC till I have the money to buy the other parts. I'm guessing that I'll get money at the last week of July or first week of August. And It says that I can get a free upgrade to Windows 10 if I buy Windows 8.1. All I have to do is reserve a spot and it'll download automatically when It becomes available. And I also learned that Windows 10 is gonna be available on July 29th. Will I still be able to upgrade my Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 even if I don't reserve a spot before July 29th?

I want a gaming PC that can run all game 1080p 60FPS!! But unfortunately, I don't have money and I'm too young to have a job XD

yes you will be able to upgrade to Win10 for free even if you take another 2 months to get your PC built and windows 8.1 installed. All that will happen is when you run Windows update it will tell you win10 is available. You don't have to reserve Win10 at all as it is free to anyone with a valid Win7/8/8.1 license.

Right now, I'm using my dad's working PC. It's really old and It has Windows Vista in it. I'm gonna get the disk and the product key in 2 days. I won't use it in this computer that I'm using right now (The old working PC that I just mentioned). I'm gonna use it on my future PC that I'm gonna build in a few weeks.
