Can I download the Windows 10 version that is still free but not install it until a later time and not get charged for it because I did not install until after the free deadline?

Two weeks ago I made a clean install from Windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 32-bit. Was worried that new OS won't work properly because my PC is 7 years old and may not have the best specs, has survived a virus and hard drive crash twice. So far it works flawlessly. Now I'm been bugged with "Get...

Hi when i purchased my computer quite a few years back it had Vista installed but came with a free upgrade for windows 7. I upgraded free online but have since had problems with my computer and had to factory restore it back to vista. i'm now wondering if the Vista key on the bottom of laptop...

Specific Question. If I have a fully activated version of Windows 7 and want to upgrade to windows 10 further down the track can I still activate windows 10 after the cut off date? What I mean is, I have downloaded Windows 10 and placed it on a CD for installation later on. I understand...

Hey I'm trying to update to W10 through the free promotion but my w10 installer is hanging on "Please wait..." so I thought I would update my windows as it's been awhile since my last update (KB3068708) but it was also hanging. I've tried system update readiness tool and manually dling the...

Recently I made a clean install of Windows 10. I was currently on Windows 8.1. I did not wait for that free update but instead went for that clean install and ruined my free Windows update and now I am lacking lots of features because of it. Problem now is I want to revert back to Windows 8.1...

I'll try to make this as short as possible. It started with the "free" win 10 upgrade that managed to trash my computer. It did offer to revert to my Win7 and managed to do that. But machine freezes up in anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes. After 3 days of computer hell I finally gave up and opted to...

I am curious to know will I be able to go back to Windows 8.1 after using Windows 10 for a year as I don't want to pay after a year?

I have windows 8.1 and am quite happy with it. Don't want to upgrade to the "free" Windows 10. But getting a bit po'd about the GWXUX cropping up on every re-start. (no hurry to get win10). Don't give me some crazy amount of steps to get rid of it. Is their a REG to just kill it...??? (or...

We learn today that the free Windows 10 upgrade that was installed over a retail licensed copy of Windows 7 or 8.1 does not transfer forever. read more Continue reading...

I tried Windows 10. I found it very trying. I reloaded Win 7 but that backup had the flying window on the task bar asking me to reserve my free win10. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it? I am NOT going there again.

Hey guys this is probably a stupid question but I just wanted to make sure ^^ So i'm buying a windows 8.1 64bit hp laptop and i'm getting it in a few weeks, will i still be able to download Windows 10 for free on it? Like is that offer still available to new laptops?

Hello, I have a question I'm going to buy a PC without any OS. I have an old laptop which runs win 7 and I've signed up for the free upgrade to win 10. I read somewhere that it's possible to download windows 10 from that free upgrade to my laptop, then put it on a USB. Then put the USB in my PC...

So, I was in my local PC shop the other day buying an SSD, and the guy at the counter said to me something about being able to run 7 & 10 on the same machine (my current copy of windows 7 and the copy of windows 10 that you get by doing the free upgrade), by like saving your copy of 7 before...

Any idea when the upgrade will be available in the UK? Have reserved the upgrade, but nothing happening. Look forward to your replies.

I'm running a genuine copy of Windows 7 SP1 on my laptop, and it fills all the requirements for the free upgrade. Still, i cannot for my life get the "Reserve Windows 10" icon to appear in the taskbar! I've updated Windows, uninstalled the updates and reinstalled them again. I tried all the...

So firstly, apologies if this is in the wrong section. I recently purchased a Toshiba Radius L10W-B and it has windows 8 on it. It was purchased on 25.07.15, four days prior to the release date here in NZ. Firstly, am I aliagble for a free upgrade? I am running the standard version of Windows...
