There are several new features in the update that might push the non-upgrader over the edge to activating their free Windows 10 licence.įor a start, the personal assistant Cortana is getting a major upgrade, with new commands and the ability to ask questions about meetings, flight information and anything else you can think of straight from the lock screen, without having to log in. Windows 10 is a big improvement over Windows 8, but what if you’re still using Windows 7? Microsoft may be offering a free upgrade to Windows 10, but should you take it or should you stick with what you know? You don’t have much time left to decide: the free upgrade ends on July 29th so unless you want to pay upwards of £80 for an upgrade, now is the time to make your final decision.īelow we’ll take you through the differences between Windows 7 and 10, but before we get to that it’s also worth pointing out that on August 2nd, Microsoft will issue the Windows 10 Anniversary update. Come 14th January, you won't have much choice but to upgrade if you want to have a secure operating system so everyone that's held off till now needs to make the move.Should you ditch Windows 7 for Windows 10? However, at these prices that's not the end of the world. If you perform an upgrade to your PC, such as the motherboard, it's possible you'll need to buy a new license. These are often OEM keys, which are usually tied to specific hardware components in your machine once installed. While the cheaper versions are often frowned upon, there's are plenty of positive reviews (always check these if you opt for this method, whichever site you use) and I've personally used a Groupon-sourced Windows 10 licence for over a year with no problems. In the UK, Groupon currently has a deal for £24.95.
The likes of Kinguin offer the OS for less than $20. The alternatives are the cheap Windows 10 key providers out there. Amazon currently lists the OEM version of Windows 10 Home for $85. First is to buy Windows 10 from a retailer.
There are some alternative routes you can take of course.
