Several Windows 9 reports have confirmed that Windows 9 will be a free update for Windows 8 users.
According to Boy Genius Report, the Windows 9 upgrade will be available free of charge to all existing Windows 8 users once it's released.
Microsoft is reportedly interested in moving many people from the older, and no longer supported, Windows XP and offering Windows 9 as a free download might be a great incentive for some, report said.
However, it's not clear whether other Windows users who are on older versions of the OS will get any other special offers, and actual prices for Windows 9 have yet to be revealed.
