Window 10 upgrade?

An offer of a free Windows 10 upgrade from Microsoft has just appeared in the tool bar of my laptop. Has anyone else had this? What are the pro's and con's?

I haven't had a pop up, and personally would be wary in case it is a virus etc.

I have no experience of Windows 10, still trying to get my head round Windows 8.1

Be very wary of anything like that, Windows 10 is not released till July, I posted a couple of days about it.

Is windows 10 optional?

I haven't had one and tend not to click these things in case it's a bug

This sounds like malware or a scam Wendy

it is not to be trusted so that is why I put it on chill.
I got it from Linkedin, and even web designers say they have not heard anything about windows 10 being released yet.
So if you get an email then please delete it.

Honey, yes it is, a lot of us use windows 7 instead of windows 8 because we prefer it.
The new Windows 10 will have some things in it that are like windows 7.
So we wait and see.
