windows 8.1 vs 8.1 pro

[Daniel Brassard]

According to this

Windows 10 will be free for Windows 8.1 users for its first year. While there's no word on pricing for users still on Windows 7 or an older version, Microsoft confirmed a while ago that the two most recent Windows versions will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 directly.

So Windows10 will be subscription-only as well?

Okay, let me answer my own question (if I understand it correctly ):
PCGamer: Microsoft: Windows 10 will not be sold as a subscription
I hope that answers my question sufficiently...

No. Where the heck did you get that?

[Hirazi Blue]

It's all in the clumsy wording Microsoft themselves used (and since also have clarified, see my previous post) as to "being free for the first year",
where they apparently meant the upgrade, not the product...

Which only seems to prove you did not bother to read my posts...

Your post with that same link wasn't there when I wrote the reply that ended up at the top of this page. I didn't see it.

[Hirazi Blue]

No, but it was there when you posted the identical link, which was what I referred to. Forget about it...
