Yes it's true, and its here in a few days. I understand it downloadsusing the Windows Update route if you have clicked yes to the upgrade icon.
I think you will get a choice as to when to upgrade, but MS say no dual boot
"Can I dual boot the free upgrade of Windows 10 with my previous version of the operating system?
No. Upgrading to Windows 10 doesn't free up your previous license, so you cannot install your previous version on another machine or in a dual-boot configuration. The upgrade requires installing Windows 10 on top of a valid version of Windows 7 or Windows 8 installation to continue with the upgrade process.
This means you may be up the Swanney river, if your drivers don't work
Be careful...

There is a forum that has a lot of info about windows 10,
www.tenforums.comWhile the above may be strictly true as regarding the licence for windows 10, what I know so far is that Microsoft will allow you to go back to windows 7 after you have installed windows 10 on the same computer, then it should be technically possible to dual boot your computer (Provided that you previously made an image of windows 7 and that you have windows 10 on a different partition, easy enough to do) after all you won't be using both OS at the same time, but the licence like a lot of things is fairly strict in that Microsoft only allows you to have one copy of windows installed on any computer. EasyBCD that I mentioned on another thread is a good free legit software utility that will set up your dual boot menu, google it.
I will never do online banking on the same partition that I use for normal browsing as an extra security measure, so I have two installations of windows 7 installed, if I want to do online backing I restart the computer and use the other windows for that.
