During Microsoft's live briefing yesterday, it was announced that users could upgrade to Windows 10 for free if you are running a system with Windows 7, 8 or 8.1. Unfortunately though, there is some bad news as Microsoft has announced Windows Surface RT tablets won't be getting Windows 10.
In a statement provided to The Verge, Microsoft confirms the Surface Pro 3 and "entire Surface Pro line-up" will get the update to Windows 10, but Windows RT won't get the full OS. "We are working on an update for Surface, which will have some of the functionality of Windows 10. More information to come," says a Microsoft representative. This means tablets like the Surface RT and Surface 2 won't get Windows 10.
Microsoft refuses to comment anymore on the mysterious update but its likely to mean just a selection of Windows 10 apps will be heading to the Surface RT.
This is a shame for the Surface RT and looks like the ARM tablet is on its way out for good with only Microsoft themselves still making use of it as other technology giants Dell, Lenovo, Asus and Samsung parted ways with it in 2013.
