News from groovypost. MS offering free PC if they can't upgrade you to W10.

Can this be true?? MS must be desperate to get all PC users on W10! Can someone check this out and see if this is for real?

Yup - As mentioned in the article, however, you need to read the fine print. Looks like it's also US & Canada only (for now). And you need to show-up at a reasonable hour vs. 10 minutes before End of day.

Here's the "Fine Print"

Wow! Who can understand all that crap?? Sounds more like a promotional scam to me! Thanks for the update @Steve  that's a lot of fine print and you posted it pretty fine. I had to use my CTRL + to read your post LOL!

I think the catch is "Microsoft Stores" where it must be done. I just looked at Pa and there are 2 stores in the entire state so this really is

limited only to a small % of the population.

Hi! That's not many stories for Pa. Also I doubt if many people will even be made aware of the offer from MS. There seem to be several stores in Oklahoma.

Time is running out, so I doubt if MS gets many takers. MS sure wants everyone to up grade!
