Once you do the upgrade it is free forever and you have 1 year to complete the upgrade.

Hi all,

 

Firstly I apologize if there is already a topic on this, but due to hotel wifi being VERY slow, I can't search the forums easily.

 

Anyway, as stated in the title, my question is: How long is Windows 10 free for?

 

I ask this because I am currently on holiday (using my laptop) and am debating whether or not to get windows 10 for my main PC back home. I never reserved a free copy or anything, so I was wondering if someone could tell me if it would still be available to get when I'm back home. I arrive home on the 8th. 

 

If it is still available (Which I assume it will be), is it worth upgrading? Should I upgrade my laptop now to test it out? 

 

Thanks,

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

I think you misunderstood my question, or I misunderstand your answer xD

 

What I meant was: 

 

How long is Windows offering an upgrade from windows 7 to windows 10?

The free upgrade will be offered for 1 year from W10 launch day.

It seems you misunderstood my answer. The upgrade is offered within the first year after the release of Windows 10. I may have not been entirely clear in my original answer.
