For many customers, that will be true for the first year. There's been a lot of talk about Windows 10 being a free upgrade.

If so, that's new information that appears to contradict earlier Microsoft statements. It implies that the upgrade is just free for one year. The next part of the post is a bit tricky. Small and midsize business customers will be eligible for the free upgrade offer to move to the Windows 10 Pro edition. According to the post, it's possible for consumers to use the free upgrade offer to move to the Windows 10 Home edition. The post filled in some sketchy details of an earlier Microsoft announcement of the names of the Windows editions by indicating which of those editions qualify for the free upgrade offer to Windows 10. Today a Microsoft blog post intended for its partners offered a "recap" of Microsoft's recent Windows 10 announcements, but it also included some details that mostly seem new in the public sphere.
