Windows 10 is free for all people that already have windows 7 or 8 if you want an OS for free you can get Linux but that is for advanced computer users.

Download Win10 preview, it's free and you get full version of Win10 for free once it's officially released next month.

This isn't necessarily true. You would need to opt in for future pre-release updates in order to actually keep a genuine copy of windows 10 through this method.

"Gabriel Aul, General Manager for Operating System Group's Data and Fundamentals Team at Microsoft, said that Windows 10 Insider Preview users will only retain genuine and activated Windows 10 copies if they opt-in for future pre-release updates on either the Fast or Slow cycle. Users will need to continue updating to the latest preview build, or have the pre-release software licence of their build expire.

If users decide to opt-out of the updates, their builds will no longer be "activated under the terms of the Windows Insider Program", and they will be eligible for the same free upgrade offer as genuine Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users, while new users (including those coming in from Windows XP or Windows Vista) will have the paid upgrade path.

In other words, if you opt out of the Windows Insider program, you will no longer have a licensed Windows 10 copy."

It is true. Those who are a part of the insider preview get all of the future builds for free. You can set updates to "Slow" so that you don't get new build straight away.
