Is the windows 10 update free forever for windows 8.1 users or it costs money after one year ?
If so how much it costs ?

The statement was that it's free to upgrade in the first year for all users of Windows 7 and Windows 8. If you don't then you pay.

Meaning you keep W10 and don't pay anything. Your computer won't revert back to W7 or 8.

If there's any cost associated with Windows upgrades past that point it hasn't be mentioned.

So I need not pay anything after one year of my activation if I update it with in one year of the OS release.

You have a year to update W10 for free and any patches along the way.

If you don't update in that first year you will pay for the update.

That's all we know.
