For those entitled to free upgrade from Win 8.1 to Win 10, how long will the subsequent updates (normal and security) for Win 10 be available?
Will it be free just like the updates for Win 8.1? hmm.gif

finally. the development for w10 has entered the stage of rtm escrow as reported by wzor on 15 june 2015. (source: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Windows-10-...s-484282.shtml)

following the trends of previous os developments, if you don't wanna deal with left-over bugs, incompatible drivers, etc. which will be fixed mostly by windows updates and respective manufacturers some times later, it's better to give a time frame of few months before you upgrade. of course if you have tested the os via insider program and found nothing in the way, your computer is all set.

Can't agree more - when I run PC check Windows 10 cannot be run on my PC as the OEM has yet to release compatible driver for their customized GPU. No choice but have to wait n fingers crossed they update the driver within the 1 year foc timeframe

yes. note that if the pc oem doesn't provide working drivers officially, you can still get latest ones from respective parts manufacturers. i think any parts that are within 3 years old are still good to get working driver supports.

I contacted the GPU manufacturer but they commented that the OEM has customized the GPU hence the manufacturer won't be able to provide the latest driver. I contacted the OEM and they advised to wait for their update of the driver. I can only fingers crossed that they will b able to update by 29/07/16. Too bad sweat.gif
