    Got my notification yesterday. My issue is will all my games work and all my mb drivers. The beast is 4 years old now and how will I know of it is compatible? How do you roll back if it doesn't work?? I bet that even if you did an image begore upgrade, the key wouldn't work for a win 7 install...

    Some editions are excluded: Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 8/8.1 Enterprise, and Windows RT/RT 8.1. Active Software Assurance customers in volume licensing have the benefit to upgrade to Windows 10 enterprise offerings outside of this offer.

    apparently you can get it for free

    "As long as you are running an Insider Preview build and connected with the MSA you used to register, you will receive the Windows 10 final release build. Once you have successfully installed this build, you will also be able to clean install on that PC from final media if you want to start over fresh."

    From what I hear, this is a full amnesty. Any cracked W7 or W8 will get the free upgrade.

    I believe MS will use this to launch some cloud based services and took the attitude the those using cracked copies will never buy one so may as well let them have this and see if they buy some online services down the line.

    I have a slightly cracked copy on a laptop that is spare so will be upgrading this before my legit one to see how it fares.

    Not true.

    What is actually happening is that anyone can join the insider program and install Windows 10 even if you don't have any previous copy of windows for free. However as an insider you will be part of the fast ring for patch and feature updates which is the beta test ring so that they can identify problems before mass deployment. If you do an upgrade from a qualifying Windows 7 or 8.1 machine you can choose to go on the slow ring and miss out on being a beta tester.

    I have two or three pieces of equipment, all of which are providing the opportunity to upgrade to win 10... Quite surprised at that...

    Think Microsoft is being very generous this time around... Looking forward to the launch date...

    It's a marketing technique to battle against Android and iOS in my opinion.
