Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has announced the price of its upcoming operating system, Windows 10, confirming that it will cost the same as its previous OS, Windows 8. The Windows 10 is scheduled to be released on July 29, 2015.
The tech giant announced that the Windows 10 Home edition will be priced at $119, and Windows 10 Professional will be available for $199. People who are wishing to upgrade their genuine Windows 10 Home to the Professional edition will be able to do so by buying a $99 Windows 10 Pro Pack.
The company will also provide free upgrade on its OS; however, as previously mentioned, it will only be available to those who have a genuine copy of Windows on their machines. Windows 7 and Windows 8 users, who have bought a new qualified PC, will also be eligible for the upgrade. The free upgrade offer is valid till June 29, 2016.
The company has introduced a reservation feature to make sure that the upgrade process is as smooth as possible. The reservation would allow users to confirm their machines are compatible with Windows 10. After the reservation, files which are needed for the upgrade will be downloaded on the PC. These files are required to speed up the final installation. Hence, users who later change their mind about upgrading can cancel their reservation.
The upgrade will be offered on the previous model of the OS. For example, if a user has been running Windows 7 Home, then he will receive an upgrade to Windows 10 Home. Similarly, a person who has a Windows 8.1 Professional will receive an update to Windows 10 professional. Users will be able to download the upgrade as soon as it is available.
Providing a free upgrade is a clever strategy by Microsoft to ensure that almost everyone shifts to the new OS. One of the reasons as to why Windows 8.1 was not very successful was because people were not simply willing to upgrade their PC to the new OS. However, by offering the OS for free, users will have an extra incentive to install the new OS. By offering the upgrade for a limited time only, Microsoft is making sure that users shift to Windows 10 at their earliest.
