Windows 10 "Free Upgrade" to end on July 30th

The Windows 10 "Free Upgrade" for Windows 7 and 8.1 users will end on July 30th, costing $120 or £99.99 thereafter.

This means that those who are currently running Windows 7 or 8.1 will only have around two more months to upgrade to the new OS for free, as if they decide to upgrade after it may cost them a lot more than expected.

Below is a statement from Microsoft:

Windows 10 is the best version of Windows yet, and is now running on 300 million active devices. Watch Bryan Roper from the Windows team run through the 10 top reasons to upgrade to Windows 10 – before the free upgrade offer ends on July 29th.

After July 30th those how upgrade, by accident or intentionally will be forced to pay Microsoft a fairly hefty sum,
