This is for those Windows 7-8.1 users. You should have noticed a start menu type of icon with all your small taskbar applets in the bottom right. This is a legit program from Microsoft Windows Update. Click it to get your free Windows 10 copy, as this will not last. Doing this will reserve a free copy, and it will download once available. It also has an option to check compatability. Have fun.

Oi, it looks like the windows 8 start button. Read the article, it was a program released in an update.
Already done.

I really don't understand the logic of pirating something your PC relies on.

It came after windows update. WinKey + S > "Windows update". See if there's any available.
I didn't get it straight away after the update. It appeared this morning around 11am. After i updated at 3am.

Windows 8 isn't supported anymore, do the upgrade to 8.1.

Assuming your hashtag means you have a legal copy of windows, why the hell are updates turned off?

Mine's off too, since last time they were on the laptop wouldn't start after an update
Mine notifies when available. It likes to update in games and restart.

I consider that a good enough excuse to update ASAP.
The metro apps don't have to full screen anymore, and neither does the start menu. Microsoft is introducing Cortana (basically like Siri) and they are supposedly removing internet explorer.
I had a play around with Windows 10 in a VM a month or two ago. Start menu is pretty neat, as is the new browser. Worth upgrading
