Windows 10 free upgrade? Pitfalls?

By techn •

Today I got to know that windows 7 and 8 users are being offered free upgrade to windows10.

What is your opinion? Is it a wise thing to do . I am bit hesitant because normally new version of windows needs much upgraded hardware for smooth running, though one can install on the lower hardware.

I've been running the preview version for the past few months and it is pretty solid...it's honestly better than windows 8 so if they offer u a free upgrade definitely go for it

Well, luckily Win10 shares the same bloodline as Windows 8. Just a bit of polish and paint job. If your machine was powerful enough to boot into windows 8 in under 2 minutes, it will work.

Don't forget, they are promising this OS to be lean. They have hinted that this is leaner than the last release.

Windows 10 is the same as Windows 8.1. Don't worry, all hardware that works with 8.1 will work with 10. But it's not worth it, and it's only a 'preview' anyway.
