Windows 11, 10: Enable FREE Microsoft Defender VPN for 365 subscribers
Yes, Windows Insiders can upgrade to Windows 10 for free, regardless of whether their PC was running a copy of Windows 8.1 or Windows 7. On June 19, Microsoft published a new article on the official Windows blog stating that Insiders can upgrade to Windows 10 for free and "stay enabled" as long as they are running a preview of the operating system and are connected to a Microsoft account that participates in the Windows Insider program.
On June 20, the company edited the article and removed the mention of "stay activated," which would further confuse the company's plans to offer Windows 10 to Insiders. However, it appears that the company only changed the article for legal reasons and to minimize the proliferation of websites that say "How do I get Windows 10 for free?", as the company offers a free upgrade to Windows 10 to users running a valid Windows 8.1 and Windows 7.
On June 21, Microsoft's Gabriel Aul clarified that Insiders will receive a real free Windows 10 upgrade.
