Good news on the horizon for Microsoft clients that use Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 devices. They will offer a free upgrade to Windows 10 for qualified new or existing devices in the first year of deployment. IT GETS BETTER; once a qualified Windows device is upgraded to Windows 10, Windows will continue to keep it up to date for the supported lifetime of the device, keeping it more secure, and introducing new features and functionality over time for no additional charge.
