Minecraft: PC with Windows 10 Upgrade?

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?
