I got notice on my machine today that says I can upgrade to Windows 10 for free. Sounds tempting... very tempting. However, how do I know if this is real, or just a scam? Did I win some contest, or is everyone else getting this screen?

Why would they give their new OS for free? Here I am still using 7, although I was interested in 8, and I didn't even know there was a Windows 9. So 10 would be a huge leap forward for me. Sounds like a sweet deal if it is genuine but I am skeptical.

srs pst

if you have 8.1 with classic shell, keep that, if ur a spergonaut, knock your own rocks off by installing windows 10, then sucking the nearest dick (not yours, thats gross, ew) and then promptly tossing the computer out the nearest window

a lot of people in yospos will try to tell you that it's fail, but really windows is pretty good, and a lot of people worked really hard on it so they should try saying something nice for a change.

windows 10 is windows-as-a-service. you only get it free for 1 year, then you have to pay a subscription.

you should definitely get a mac now.

it's kind of like when microsoft sold the Xbox with an ethernet port and said it could do online gaming, then a year later said "oh and it will be $10 a month also ahah"

this is a pretty good analogy. except it's only free to sit down for a while and they won't say how much it costs after that. then the ship sets sail with you on it and you have nothing to do but sit there then they reveal it's $10 an hour haha.

in this metaphor, the ship setting sale is you investing your time in the platform and then yeah.
