Annoying 'Free Windows 10 Upgrade App'

[RobertX]

I don't know what happened, but, just out of the blue, my computer is displaying a pop-up that tells me to upgrade to Windows 10 for free.

I suspect that it has something to do with the latest update I performed last night.

Did anyone get this? I did, and it doesn't seem to close.

Ye here aswel, and im pretty sure everyone has it. since my entire class had it this morning.

It tells u u can subscribe for windows 10, so u will be able to update as soon as windows 10 launches. (take more then a month lol)

[RobertX]

Exactly!

Microsoft should be lined in chalk for this.

Glad I'm not the only one, though.

I was ready to make a thread about it!

After a bit of searching, I found that this pop-up comes up to everyone who has Windows 7 or 8. Moreover, you can pre-order it to get it free, but you will have it only for 1 year. Then you will have to pay to get it.

My question is, can anyone tell me for sure whether I will be able to go back to Windows 8 after the one year or should I just "buy" (download) Windows 10?

P.S.1  I also read that Internet Explorer will not exist but I am not 100% sure for the website that I read that.
P.S.2  I dont know about you, but it doesnt pop-up to me all the time. It did once and from then is always there.

I would just upgrade to win 10, i never heard of windows 10 beiing free for just one year.

I do know u have to update to windows 10 WITHIN a year, or else you will have to pay for it.

That about Internet Explorer is correct. They will have an new browser called Microsoft Edge.

And yes ur right, its just down there. It doesn't pop up.

EDIT:
Windows 10 will stay free.

Maybe I didnt say it clearly  

What I read is that if you have pre-ordered Windows 10 (and you have Windows 7 or Windows 8), then you will have Windows 10 for one year and then you will have to pay to continue with Windows 10 (while you didnt pay to get them in the beginning) .

[EddieXTC]

I dont get it.

Heres what to know.

If you have Windows 7 or 8/.1 Legally and u do an FREE UPDATE (pre order or however u want to call it) (yes its an update not a clean install) it will stay free forever. (but u have to do that update within a year)

So basically they are giving Windows 10 away for free.

And what's the score if you don't have a legit copy of Windows 7?

[RobertX]

AntSC, that's what I want to know.

And what's the score if you don't have a legit copy of Windows 7?

They (microsoft) say that when u have an illegal copy of Windows 7/8 u will get the update but u will get Limited (i dont know what the limitations are)

here is one of the many sources u will find when u google windows 10 pirates
