Windows 10 Beta — Free Windows 10 for Everyone!

Like the saying goes; "If you are not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold" but I'm not sure most even care about that anyway.

So to be part of the programme and to use Windows 10 Beta for free you have to become a Windows Insider, just follow the link, click "Join the Program" and register with your Outlook email (given you have one, if not, make a new one).

In case don't have Windows 10 installed, grab an ISO file (for trial use or more) from Microsoft's website and install it on your PC and then follow these instructions.

This differs from the usual upgrade offer as this is a beta version which users receive early updates and don't have to pay for it, legally.

Mind you, you might think about buying one of those really cheap Windows 10 keys from eBay but as per Microsoft, those are not genuine so you end up getting an invalid/deactivated key as they end up tracking it down.
