Windows 10 upgrade is free for another few days....


Jul 24, 2016, 11:18 AM

Do I upgrade from 7 or not? Pros/cons? I read that the eventual plan is to start charging users a monthly subscription, since Windows is now a "service", but peeps that upgrade now would prob be grandfathered in....

Any other yays or nays?

Upgraded months ago

it's really not a big deal.

It's a little tougher finding settings, but if all you do on your computer is use microsoft office/get on internet like me, you really won't see much of a difference.

So basically if I'm satisfied now just leave it as is? *******

I have a feeling eventually they are going to make people switch.

Upgrade now and then

use it for a week or two. If you like it, awesome! You got it for free and didn't have to pay for it!

However, if you don't like it, you can roll back to your previous version (7 or 8/8.1) within 30 days.

Case closed!

PS - I don't buy the 'Windows as a service = fees' thing. I believe that they'll take a more Apple-esque approach with incremental, larger-than-they-currently-are updates, but for free.

yeah, if it weren't for the 30 day trial/rollback


Jul 24, 2016, 1:30 PM

i probably wouldn't even be contemplating it


and the info I read about the fees, is that the business/enterprise versions WILL have fees, and the thought was that that may trickle down to personal users eventually...

No big deal, other than selling your privacy up the river


Jul 24, 2016, 1:52 PM

But if you have a cell phone (android or apple) you've already done that.

the inevitable problem with not upgrading....


Jul 24, 2016, 2:04 PM

is that eventually programs and software you need (tax software, anti-virus, etc) won't be supported anymore with older versions.

May as well go ahead and do it now. It's not that bad. Haven't had many problems, though I only use about 5% of the features probably. I've disabled most of the stuff I don't use/understand.
