Microsoft released the Windows 10 PC software on July 29, 2015. On the very same day, the Redmond-based company announced to offer free upgrade to all qualified Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 devices for a period of one year.
All those who procrastinated to install the Windows 10 up until now, you have few hours left to get it for free, as the Microsoft's promotional upgrade programme is said to end on Saturday morning at 5:59 a.m. EDT/2:59 a.m. PDT (3:29 p.m. IST)
Two reasons why you should install Windows 10 right way:
Windows 10 OS doesn't come cheap:
If anybody misses this opportunity, be ready to shell out lots of bucks. Even the starter Windows 10 Home package costs $119 and the Pro version will set you back by $199 in the U.S. In India, it's a bit more expensive. The two versions cost Rs. 7,999 and Rs. 14,999, respectively. So, it's better to log in to respective regional website of Microsoft Windows and apply for free upgrade, before it's too late.
