Island-Ho, NOT TRUE... A direct quote from ZDnet on The Windows 10 Upgrade... ( " I heard that after a year Microsoft is going to start charging for subscriptions. True?
Not true. The Windows 10 upgrade will be free, as in beer, for the first year after it's released. And there won't be any surprise fees after that.
The basic licensing model for Windows has not changed with Windows 10. You get a perpetual license, with five years of mainstream support and five additional years of extended support. See "Microsoft commits to 10-year
support lifecycle for Windows 10" for details." )
I couldn't imagine Microsoft offering a Free upgrade to 10, and then charging anything for it after a year. It would put them right out of business.
