No indication of user fees. Perhaps for the professional version
but Microsoft has never charged for keeping operating systems
upgraded. I think the reason Win 10 is free for many users is that
there a lot of machines running Win 8 with unhappy users. It seems to be
a fix rather than a new OS. One comment on the web site Carlos links
to is that Win 8 is better for professional users and Win 10 is for kids
but the writer is not specific. I wonder what exactly he is talking
about. Unfortunately, there are a lot of folks who make out they are
software experts that really don't know much. I wonder how many bug
fixes are in Win 10. Offering it free may be a good way for Microsoft
to save themselves a lot of future trouble. I just wish they still
supported Xp, which is a quite satisfactory OS.

Gentlemen, nothing is free.... Downloading 'soft 10 is free for the first year. There will be user fees after that. Microsoft is officially in the razor blade business.

I can hardly operate a PC, but the main advantage for
the 7 and 8.1 versions users is to upgrade to the 10 version for
free. It was commented the 10 is the best Windows version from XP,
it takes the best of 7 and 8.1 according those comments, I'll
see...XP was the best so far IMO.The hardware needs to be
according the OS requirements for a good performance,of course.

Carlos, Richard, Don, you gentlemen appear to very PC/OS
savvy. I am running Vista on an 8 year CompaQ laptop, INTEL
Celeron CPU. Any advantage in migrating to Win 10?
Thanks,

Yes Richard, I'm having a similar experience too. The only
"problem" was that it was not so simple and direct to
establish Mozilla Firefox as my preferred web browser,
because Windows 10 "forgot" my selection after I closed it
and open it again, but I found the way to do it from Windows
in the Toolbar. Anyway, I detected Mozilla became too slow to
upload images from the PC to Facebook, however using the new
MS Edge explorer, things were very quick perhaps Mozilla needs
to be reloaded despite it works fine to upload images to
Flickr. I feel like my PC, in general, is quicker with Windows
10 than with the 7 PS1 version.

I am also running Windows 10 64 bit version in a small
Acer laptop. So far it works fine but I have mostly new
programs this machine except for Photoshop 7. I did the
same as you Carlos; I reserved an upgrade and downloaded
it almost as soon as it was available. Also installed
fairly quickly and fairly painlessly.

Don:
I'm using Windows 10 from July, 29th,
it's a 7 and 8.1 versions mix and looks good. I did
not wait for the notification about the availability,
I looked for it from the little application Windows
Upgrade installed on my 7 version and it was
available. It took about 90 minutes to install the new
version; the installer kept all my files and
software, even the desk configuration and they are
working fine, including VueScan and the original Epson
software for the v700.
