I may have missed the one point that prevents me from trying this upgrade/freebee.

And that is my worry and fear that I would lose where I am now with my setup which is windows 7 professional as probably many here all we have is a backup disk made of the oem image of the op system that I had to make myself seeing that many manufactures do not provide disks anymore.

My system when bought was windows 7 home, and then I upgraded over the web from microsoft. The only saving grace is as long as I own this system the upgrade is available to download anytime I want.

Would love to play with the new op system for a grin to see what can be seen, have heard story's of win 8 and because of those no way jose!

Win 7 is everything that win vista should have been! And would argue is a step up from xp considering.

Question is yes they say the upgrade is free, but in reality nothing is free anymore, again I state this may have been brought up in this thread, my concern is that if I jump and want to play with win 10. I would have to do a full backup (which is iffy) of my existing setup and risk losing ground and hours (days?) recovering.

Also does win 10 support virtual xp like win 7 pro and above does?

Been bitten in the past and do not care to be again! This is coming from a old fart in training, that got into computers in the late 70's and at one time thought I had something with a 286 running a Harris math coprocessor at 20 meg with a 10 meg hd with one meg ram, doing the command line thingy. That was not my first box, by far, anyone here use cpm? And having a 30 meg rll drive was for the rich people and may take 30 hours to format it.

Will not jump through hoops to get back to where I started, I like win 7 pro tho am looking for something better! Linux been there and done it, do not care to lift the hood and tweak anymore.
