Queries regarding updating to windows 10

Im a newbie to tech. My laptop is running windows 8.1. I have following doubts regarding updating to windows 10.

1) Is the update free for lifetime ? I've heard that windows 10 update is free for first one year only. Later it will be charged.
Also I've heard that we have to update until one year since its launch to get free update. Are these things true ?

2) While updating do my data and installed programs will get erased or they will not be affected ? If yes, what is the secure and easiest process to back up data and installed programs.

3) Also I've heard that windows 10 is checking for pirated programs. Does that means we cannot run any pirated programs using windows 10 ?

1. Once you reserve your Windows 10 copy on or before July 29, 2016, Your upgrade is free for lifetime and no hidden charges.
2. You can just Update your existing PC without losing your data and installed applications. The data won't be lost unless you do a clean install.
3. I'm not sure about it. I am not using any pirated softwares. If you're concerned about it, Why not try any other free alternatives or buy the ones you most use?
