...windows 10 was free to a lot of people; it's a pretty solid OS and i'd be happy to pay a fair price for ongoing support...
Unless you pirated W10 it was not free. The price of laptop and PC hardware with Windows per-installed is subsidized.
I upgraded for free from windows 7
I got my license for free from Microsoft, they literally gave them away when 10 was first launching, it was some kind of ambassador program ig but whatever it was it didnt require paying for anything.
First time ive had a legitimate windows license since xp
...i should clarify: upgrades from windows 7/8 were free...
