you have to pay to upgrade, but you don't pay after you upgrade, ever.

 

you've got until july 2016, if you get it before then it's free forever. 

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

The best why to describe on how windows ten upgrades work is comparing it to a coupon. You can redeem a coupon till it expires, whatever you got with the coupon is your forever, not just until the coupon is expired. So you have a year to upgrade to windows ten, if you don't do so within a year and latter on you want to upgrade you'll have to pay for it out of pocket. But once you upgrade its yours forever.
