The website implies that it still is. Why not just buy Windows 10?

You do realize that the upgrade process is kinda a pain and Windows 8.1 cost the same as Windows 10... sooo  why don't you just do the free upgrade?

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

Yes it will be free for a whole year. Why not just buy Windows 10 instead so you will have a clean install and not have to install and then upgrade right after?
