You must claim the update within one year of Windows 10 being released, but once you've upgraded you don't ever have to pay. It's not a "one-year trial" or anything like that.

EDIT: JesTheRed has a much better source than I had. Read his post below for clarification.

Okay, so 2-4 years. Still, it was obvious from the beginning that MS wasn't gonna really, actually do "free." How many email addresses did they harvest with that lie though...

Thanks for the clarification. Microsoft either has really terrible editors for their statements or is being intentionally misleading and ambiguous.
