    Windows 10 Is Windows 10 Truly Free Forever or Just for a Year?

    I heard that windows 10 is free for one year then you have to pay is this true. or is the case you get to keep it forever for free. what i mean by free forever is that you get to keep the last update of windows 10 and keep it for 4 years until outdated. or is it really free Thanks EJOE
