    Windows 10 to be Free Upgrade for Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 Users

    I thought I made it idiot-proof by adding that sidenote in the brackets. I was wrong.

    -> If you upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1/7 within the first year of Windows 10's launch, you can have it for free till the Sun runs out of hydrogen. You get an upgrade key, and you can use that even if you need to reinstall things 3 years later.

    -> If you're trying to upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1/7 after 1 year following Windows 10 launch, you pay for the upgrade.
