Windows 10 will be released on July 29, 2017, many users of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 will be able to use the free upgrade within one year. A possibility that many users of Windows XP (and probably also the last users under Vista) probably would like to perceive as well. Because the new Microsoft operating system goes in our comparison test Windows 10 vs.. Windows 8.1 as a clear winner. But this will not be possible.
And what about Windows Vista?
Compared to Focus Online, Microsoft makes clear that XP users will not receive Windows 10 for free. The reason is as simple as obvious, but XP veterans could disappoint: Windows XP appeared 2001, the corresponding systems are thus outdated. Even if up to 2007 (the release year of Windows Vista) still systems with preinstalled XP appeared, there are a lot of computers from before the year 2001, which have just made the jump from 98, Millennium or 2000 to Windows XP >
Also interesting is
To avoid a disappointment at the users, because Windows 10 could run extremely slowly or not even at first works, one had decided at Microsoft against a free upgrade for Windows XP. The explanation and also the decision not to offer Windows 10 as a free upgrade for XP is comprehensible.
Users of Windows Vista, on the other hand, might feel bypassed. The corresponding systems are much younger, and according to experience, Windows 7 and also the successors run significantly better on appropriate computers. At Microsoft, we asked if there is an equally obvious explanation for why Vista users are excluded from the action. As soon as we receive a reply, we will update the article
According to statista.com, about 3.6 percent of the PC users in the United States still use Windows Vista in May 2017, while XP comes to just under 5 percent. These are, after all, more than Windows 8 (2.15 percent). Windows 7 is unquestionably at the top with around 50 percent, while Windows 8.1 comes at a high rate of 18.55 percent.
