Perfectly safe, (so long as it's not come in an email using poor grammar, and it's spam capitalising on the recent genuine offer of a free update). But yes, Windows are offering a free update if you're using 8, and it's good, by all accounts  :)

Win 10 doesn't.  Win7 was the last to come bundled with Media Center (with Home Premium or higher), Win8 its available as an add-on
