Get Minecraft Windows 7
Download Minecraft Windows 7 Edition Free
Windows 10 - Microsoft’s shiny new operating system - launches tomorrow. As announced at MINECON 2015 a few weeks ago it features a brand-new Edition of Minecraft. We’re calling it Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta. If you’re one of the 20 million(ish) players who already own Minecraft for PC/Mac, you get the new version for free.
I have Minecraft PC on my computer, which is on Windows 7. We are upgrading to Windows 10.
My question is, can I play my current version on Windows 10, or must I play the Windows 10 Pocket Edition Style gameplay? If I must have the Windows 10 edition, do I have to buy it, or will it be free since I bought regular Minecraft?
Thanks in advance!

There are two versions of Minecraft that Windows 10 can run - the standard desktop version, and the Windows 10 Beta version. You can download both on minecraft.net's download page.
The standard desktop version is the one you'd want to install, and runs exactly the same between Windows 7 and Windows 10. The Windows 10 Beta features cross-platform play with Pocket Edition, and you can get a free download code from your Mojang account.
TL;DR Yes you can play the normal Windows version if your on Windows 10
You can get Windows 10 beta edition for free if you bought Minecraft already. (Get it through mojang.com )... You can still play the normal PC version of Minecraft on Windows 10, and Windows 10 beta.
