I heard that and assumed they meant if you bought the computer a year
before the upgrade. Would be nice if all 7 and 8.1 users will get it.

From googling, it sure looks like it means a year from the date
it's launched, not the date you bought a PC. Seems kind of silly
for MSFT to be making a major announcement, talking about free for Win 7
if it was only if you had bought the PC within a year.
Most PCs aren't be sold with 7 anymore already, no? and 10 is a long ways out.
