I believe the free upgrade is for those who have legit copies of Windows 7 or 8/8.1. If you have a pirated copy, which ofc hacker does not, then you still can upgrade and try Win10 but have a finite amount of time within which you must pay Microsoft for Windows 10.

DSF do nt have it too think pirated would still be considered as non genuine copies and have certain limitations like black background n cant choose optional updates and maybe prompt to pay for genuine copies too.

If you torrent and watch TV/Movies which you download, not all MKV files will play correctly. I am unsure why this is. Some of them will play video, but no sound. Some will be sound with no video. I think it depends on your sound and grafix cards, but since you can upgrade without this issue, you won't know which it is, till you have to replace them.

I upgraded to win10 about a month ago and I'm loving it so far. The only problems i've had is "system" process taking up way too much memory (70+ % of 8gigs.) I had to go into safemode and turn off superfetching and since then it hasn't used more than 1%. I also had to download a 3rd party program to disable windows defender because that was taking up too much memory as well. I think its a great operating system though, much better than 7 or 8.

I found this a bit odd! Currently I am using a laptop that runs on an older processor w/2G's of RAM. Upgrading from W7 - W10 has done wonders. The reason I went through with updating was that I did a bit of research. Many places, forums, & other online users have stated that W10 > W7 in terms of memory usage. I would 100% agree with this answer. W7 seemed to be a lot harder on my Laptop than W10 does currently. Plus, overall W10 is MUCH more appealing than W7. If we take a look at release dates, W7 is dinosaur compared to W10 nowadays. I would strongly recommend you take advantage of the free upgrade. However, do some googling! Compare your specs with others experience's on the web to find a more solidified answer & make your decision based off that. I really think that W10 > W7 in any given situation. The only issue I could possibly think of right now is that you may have some compatibility issues with games you play. Just wanted to give some input on this post as I recently upgraded & love every bit of W10.
