Do you understand what 'free upgrade to 10 after the free year' means? If yes, then you won't own it unless you record your key in 10; otherwise, you should keep it.

The question is clear—after the change, will you continue receiving a free Windows 10 upgrade?

The free version lasts just one year. Once it ends, they’ll charge you for their services. (If you receive free services without a clear outcome, you become their product. #spying)

I believe I discovered the solution, though it could be incorrect. Who knows?

The free version remains available at no cost for an extended period, and Microsoft stated this in confirmation.

The provided Windows key isn't unique—it seems to be a standard or generic version. Upgrading for one customer resulted in them receiving the same key as the virtual machine on your laptop. Microsoft verifies upgrades from Windows 7 or 8.1 to Windows 10 and then records the hardware used. Once upgraded, the license is tied to that specific hardware until you reactivate an older version. Using the same key on different machines won't work.

I switched to Windows 10 but faced issues with my 980 Ti, so I went back to Windows 7. I'm about to try the upgrade again now, which is free if you decide to revert. It seems the process was available until July 29, 2016. I don't know how many times it can be done, but I wouldn't predict a high chance.
