Seems like I read that the ‘free’ upgrade would expire in about 1 year. At that time, all who upgraded would have to purchase in order to continue using Win10.

In related, what all does Win10 break: printer drivers, scanner drivers, software, etc?

I already know that IE 10 and later ‘breaks’ the old tabbed browser I use for FR. But, I have read that IE will no longer be the Windows main browser.

I also read that Windows Media Center will be gone. Of course I have some video related software that depends on WMC. I assume the upgrade will kill them.

I am not a fan as I liked Windows XP pro much better then 7 and 8 plus 8.1 sucks. The Gov was using XP for TS sites. That was up until a few years back.

Good questions. Is Windows 10 really free or only free for the first year? And the print driver question is also crucial. Windows 7 nearly forced me to buy all new printers when they worked fine with Win XP.
