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 ?
