Several links and articles all point to a 'free' windows 10 upgrade to everything on Win 7 and over.
I was curious. So I downloaded what I was told would be the means of installing win 10, an ISO file and I also downloaded something (8gb) called a Technical preview but was linked at Win 10 free. There is also a Win 10 beta out. BUT, Win 10 is not due till late this year, so I tried it anyway, on my laptop to save any potential hazard to my desktop tower.
It downloaded and began installation, then after installation it said that it could not be run and my laptop was being restored to previous, and it did, successfully.
What do you guys know about win 10 free upgrade and does it actually 'exist' yet?
