Windows 10 – some will get it free, others will have to pay

There goes Microsoft confusing everyone once again on the upcoming Windows 10 version. It has now said upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7 & 8 will be free, but buying fresh copies for installing on new machines, for upgrading from Windows Vista or Windows XP, or for running inside virtual machines, will NOT be free. It will cost up to $199, depending on the edition you want. 
But here’s the rub, alternatively, it will cost nothing at all, according to a Microsoft blog post. If you’re running the Microsoft Insider Preview release of Windows 10, you’ll be able to upgrade to the final build on July 29. This version will be genuine, which is to say “not pirate.”
