Win 10 is a free update. Microsoft service packs and updates are also free, Normally, new OS versions are not.

Full Upgrade Paths For Windows 10 To Be Provided Only To Users Of Windows 7 And Above.

Gabriel Aul, who is the head of Microsoft’s Windows Insider program, has confirmed that when it comes to upgrading to Windows 10, users below Windows 7 are out of luck. Windows XP and Windows Vista users will have to upgrade to the operating system using the standalone ISOs provided by Microsoft.

“Apple’s updates are free unlike Microsoft.”

” “Apple’s hardware today is amazing — it has never been better. But the software quality has taken such a nosedive in the last few years that I’m deeply concerned for its future.””

“Apple’s updates are free unlike Microsoft.”

Short memory syndrome or ignorance on your part.

Mavericks and Yosemite have been free upgrades, but Mountain Lion (OS 10.8) was a $19.99 upgrade. There have been multiple OSX upgrades that cost money - i.e. not ‘free.’

Mavericks and Yosemite do not support USB monitors well, and it’s an OS problem.

Mavericks now does not play well with owner upgraded SSD’s.

I have a Mac (OS 10.8) and run Windows 7 in Parallels. I do use a USB monitor often and cannot upgrade without significant loss of features, even though it is ‘free.’

Apple makes sure its ‘free’ upgrades can, possibly, cost you in other areas.

Note to He Who Is Not A Dentist: leave it alone...
