    Microsoft confirms that Windows 10 upgrade will not be free after one


    just to add my own 2 cents about this, I have a legacy HP desktop in which Win 7 Pro x64 was pre-installed when purchased. I knew it would be a challenge for me to do any type of upgrade, so I have just been buying retail DVD's and doing clean installs for Win 8.1 x64. My question is this : Will retail DVD's be made at the same time this goes RTM? Or is MS in a bind and only releasing upgrades? Sorry for the newb question, but I'm pretty excited about Win 10 and always like new geeky stuff to work with. Thanks for listening. You guys rock!*Biggrin

    Why would this be "a challenge" to upgrade? I believe Win 7 can be ugraded from physical ISO media for free.

    sorry, forgot to add that its only a challenge to me in getting the funds for the DVD itself (lol). I'm fairly competent and have no problems burning an ISO to disk. I just like the look and feel of an original retail DVD. Thanks for the reply.
