Although windows 10 will be a free upgrade who own a windows
7 or windows 8.1 PC, someone will have to buy a copy at retail –and on
Saturday, Newegg accidently published the price and ship date for windows 10.
WinSuperSite appears to have been first to discover the
pricing information. What hasn’t been confirmed, however, is whether the leak
is accurate.
With that said, here’s the critical information: windows 10
will be available for purchase on August 31, according to a page on the
retailer’s site. An OEM copy of windows 10 home will cost $109: an OEM copy of
windows 10 professional will cost $149. Neither page lists any substantive
differences between the home and professional editions of windows 10, the two
versions of windows 10 designed for home PCs.
By contrast, Newegg charges $100 and $140, respectively, for
a 64-bit copy of windows 8.1 and windows 8.1 Pro.
Microsoft officials declined to confirm Newegg’s
information. “We are excited to offer a free upgrade to windows 10 for
qualified new or exciting windows 7, windows 8.1 and windows 8.1 phone devices
that upgrade in the first year, “a spokeswoman said in a email.” Windows 10
will be available this summer, and we look forward to sharing more details
about how the upgrade will be offered at a later date.
