Back when the windows 10 update was free I updated all my laptops to win 10 and then rolled them back to 7 or 8.1. Now I have one I7 machine 8.1 that I am thinking of of going to windows 10 as I would like to use windows INK.. It was my understanding that you had a permanent digital license to upgrade in the future. Now I just read that it was only good for a year. Ture or False? Thanks for any Info....

I don't know how long the digital license stays saved on Microsoft's side. All I can recommend is to do an install of 10 and skip the screen for a product key. It will reach out to Microsoft and attempt to activate, if it doesn't, then the license was no longer valid. If it doesn't work, just roll back to 8.1.
