Hi - I want to get this: http://

I have a system with no OS on it and was wondering, once installed, would it be eligible for the upgrade to Windows 10?

Cheers all,

C

 
See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows-10/about

"It is our intent that most of these devices will qualify, but some hardware/software requirements apply and feature availability may vary by device. The availability of the Windows Phone upgrade may vary by OEM, mobile operator, or carrier. Devices must be connected to the internet and have Windows Update enabled. ISP fees may apply. Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1 Update required. Some editions are excluded: Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 8/8.1 Enterprise, and Windows RT/RT 8.1. Active Software Assurance customers in volume licensing have the benefit to upgrade to Windows 10 enterprise offerings outside of this offer. We will be sharing more information and additional offer and support terms in coming months."

You (and I) should be OK. Windows 10 so far sounds pretty good.
