Windows 10 free upgrade
June 1, 2015 at 5:36 am
Just got a message from M$ to upgrade free to a full windows 10! as soon as it becomes available!
Anyone else get it?

It asked for my email address and said no need to do anything else. As soon as it becomes available, the 3 gig download will become available.
I'm on 7 64 atm.

Why would they email you? It's probably phishing.

Yeah.. phishing... e-mail aggregators and confirmation of a valid address.
M$ has already released that information months ago - Windows 10 will be free to upgrade for any holder of a valid license for windows 7 or 8, during the first year of release of windows 10.

On the other hand: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-faq
You may just have activated the "Get Windows 10" app that may have been installed through some windows update package.

Remember, this is Australia and I only just received it! We're last at everything due to the small population ...(least priority market)

"small population"... english speaking population... -.-'
We had to wait until 1998, for windows 98 to acknowledge european portuguese. Before that, we only got the crap brazil-portuguese.

Why are you "speaking" in spanglish?

And, ignoramus, you can't delete a post... you can only edit it.
