However, even that wasn’t enough, despite the various desktop improvements that were released for mouse and keyboard users. That’s why many rushed to uninstall Windows 8.1, which resulted in a lot of issues and problems.

However, it would be a disaster if Microsoft forced Windows 8 or 8.1 owners to pay for Windows 10. After all, it doesn’t come with groundbreaking new features. And I think that Windows 8 owners should be rewarded for embracing the new vision. Windows 10 is also Microsoft’s way of saying ‘sorry’ to Windows XP, Vista and 7 users that wanted to make an upgrade to something new. As for Windows 8 users, Windows 10 simply has to be free for them, there really is no other way around.
Windows 10: free or not for 8, 8.1 users? [2018 update]
Even though many Windows users still think about whether upgrading to Windows 10 or not, I have upgraded. Having a paid license on a Windows 8.1 laptop, I have upgraded to Windows 10 whithout paying a single penny. I just used the license key that I have extracted with Magical Jelly Bean KeyFinder, a great tool for not losing your license key. After the upgrade, my Windows 10 worked like a charm and it still works. I suggest you check your license key if you have bought Windows 8 or 8.1. If you have NOT and you have a free copy or a non-licensed copy then prepare your wallet because this will cost you a Windows 10 license. READ ALSO: Windows Store Nearing 200,000 Apps Milestone
