When the new Windows is eventually released? I presume that Windows 10 users will be offered a free upgrade again?

No way of knowing at this point. We all have to wait and see what will happen.

Personally, I wish they just change the name to "Windows" and leave it there. Like the Toyota Corolla has been the Corolla since 1966 but surely no one believes the 1966 is the same car as the 2021 model.

Or "Microsoft OS" will work for me too. A fancy new name is not going to make me run out and upgrade all my systems.

That would be preferred option for me too. How many users say "Windows 10" when they're referring to their operating system? Almost everyone just says "I'm using Windows".
