Windows 10 Free Upgrade

Should I Take Advantage of the Free Upgrade Now?

Microsoft has announced that it will provide a free upgrade to Windows 10 for all currently licensed Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers. This free upgrade offer will be available for 12 months following the initial release on July 29, 2015.

Inevitably, additional bugs and issues will be detected after the initial release and they will be corrected with updates and patches within the first few months.
