If you are planning to upgrade after 29 July 2016 it has been rumoured that you will have to pay £99.99 per device. We’ll have to see if Microsoft change their mind nearer the time and extend the update window but we are airing on the side of caution. As far as we are aware Microsoft have no plans to extend the free upgrade window.
With potential upgrade costs looming many of our customers are now making the move to Windows 10. Our recommendation would be to consider the pros and cons of upgrading now vs waiting. If you are planning on a hardware refresh at some point in the next year or so then upgrading now isn’t such a big deal…that is providing you purchase your computer hardware with OEM operating systems included.
If you are planning to stick with existing hardware for another few years though, now is most definitely the time to seriously consider upgrading.
We are already 10 months in to the free upgrade window with only two more “free” months to go.
