I wouldnt be surprised but what happens when you don't pay do they brick your machine?

If you buy a new computer with W10 already installed, does MS charge you next year for W10?

No way, even Microsoft isn't that stupid.

.... only time will tell. Adobe has already done it . Read below - one of many.

Well you read wrong. If you have Windows 7 with service pack 1 or 8/8.1 you get Windows 10 free for 1 year. That means after a year you have to pay for it. The ones that got it free in the first year have it for as long as they want it, with updates for free with no subscription fee!Anaheim Hills CA,

....as you KNOW. Nothing is free. Only time will tell. Why do you think they are offering this upgrade???? They want you locked in. If you trust Microsoft ...go for it.

Talk to me in a year. Maybe you can say I told you so but I'll bet you won't be able to.
BTW I'll already went for it. Really liking Windows 10 so far and Edge rocks!!!

They have already made it clear that it is free for the "life of the device", not just one year.

They still sell it with new computers, and stand alone versions. Are you saying that if you buy one of these they will start charging a subscription in a year?
