Microsoft keeps notifying me that I can upgrade foc from Windows 8 (presently) to 10.
Its taken me long enough to get used to Windows 8 which I find a bit of a dog to work with, is Windows 10 any better or easier to use?

Yes it will be much better. Windows 8 is a pile of crap. I didn't think the roll out was for another month though, guess I'd better recheck, as 1st day I can I will overwrite 8.

It is in the future, it just keeps telling me I can pre-register for update on release! |

Yeah it comes in with the latest Windows Update, the good news for some is that if you use a cracked version of Windows 7 or 8 then you can still upgrade for free. Windows 10 is rolled out on July 29th. |

What does it mean about its 'free to upgrade for a year'. Does this mean there is some subsequent charge after a year? Do you have to pay a yearly subscription for it?

It means that if you upgrade within the first year it is free.

From what I've seen of it it's a heck of a lot better than 8, which although I don't use I have come to have a grudging respect for.
Can't remember if it's been confirmed but windows 10 might actually be the last numbered windows OS. Everything post 10 (at least for the forseeable future) will be simply an update.
