After I get the free upgrade to Windows 10, will it be activated for life?

[Windows Central Question]

after i get the free upgrade to windows 10, will it be activated for life?

I have a windows 8.1 pro on my PC. It says windows license will expire on 24th November 2015. Now if i upgrade my PC to windows 10 on July 29th, will the Windows 10 be activated for life or will i be needing to buy a new license?

Activated for the life of the device.

Yes if you already have registered for Windows 10 or even download it within this year it will be activated for life. But if you don't upgrade it within this year THEN if you would want to upgrade(after this year) then it will cost you.
