Key notes
Switching to the new operating system comes with a price, and many are wondering how much Windows 10 costs.
In today’s guide, we going to take a closer look at different editions of Windows and let you know the price of each one.
How much does a Windows 10 cost?
The cost of Windows 10 depends on the edition that you’re planning to install:
What is the cheapest version of Windows 10?
The most affordable version of Windows 10 is the OEM edition of Windows.
Although it’s most affordable, it comes with limitations that all OEM versions have.
Can you get Windows 10 for free?
Yes, it’s possible to get Windows 10 for free, right from Microsoft’s website. However, even though you can use this version, it won’t be licensed and you’ll often get a message asking you to activate it.
If you want to use the full version, you can tryupgrading Windows 7 to Windows 10 for freeas a workaround.
How can I get Windows 10 forever for free?
You can’t get a licensed copy for free, but you can use an unactivated version almost without restrictions as long as you like.
If you already own a previous edition of Windows, you might be able toactivate Windows 10 with Windows 7 or 8 key.
What is the difference between free Windows 10 and paid?
We hope that you now understand better how much different Windows 10 versions cost. Do keep in mind that Microsoft isn’t selling Windows 10 anymore, so you can only get it from retailers.
