Question about Windows 10

[Spudmaster]

So at the moment I have windows 8.1 and it has been announced that windows 10 will be a free upgrade for a year but does this mean I have a year to get the upgrade or does it mean I can use it for a year but then have to buy a license.

You have a year (after release) to get it and install it.
It will run forever.

Thanks for clearing that up.

It means that you have one year after the release to decide if you want to upgrade to Windows 10. I think that If you decide to upgrade, the licence will be active for an unlimited time.
