Thanks for the response. Is there anywhere that Logos makes this explanation public?
Reason, is that over the years I have upgraded and added books, and would like to hope that users don't have to be obligated to upgrade if they choose, and keep the same level of experience.

Only in the sense that they announce when they stop supporting an older version of the program i.e. will no longer patch it when operating system updates "break it."

Considering that there always is a free upgrade which generally improves the experience, I'm not sure what your question is. There are people who have run old versions (without upgrading the operating system if necessary) for more than a decade - think Libronix (L3) fans.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
So now, with Logos 10, I have a decision to upgrade or not, and it means continual expenses, right? Unless I opt for the free upgrade, but Logos 10 does not yet have that. Does the free upgrade also include the free upgrade to the speed level of Logos 10?
Older versions of the software are retired, become unsupported and degrade as supporting software/services make it more and more difficult to run e.g. new resources require an upgrade, FL retire support services, or you can't login because FL have upgraded security requirements that affects unsupported versions.

FL maintain a Support Lifecycle document and provide announcements in the forums about matters that affect the product e.g. when an OS will no longer be supported, or when FL will no longer support an OS (usually because of the proliferation of newer versions that they are committed to be compatible with).
So there are fairly direct reasons that will cause users to upgrade their version of Logos/Verbum and/or their OS and/or their hardware.
Current and older versions will generally slow down because of added resources and the ability of the hardware to maintain a consistent performance as free space on hard drives is consumed (less noticeable on NVMe SSD's, but still a factor) and users employ quantitatively more of some features e.g. Visual Filters. These are raised and discussed on the Forums so that users can make an informed decision.
No.

Hi JT,
Libronix doesn't require the upgrades, correct?
So now, with Logos 10, I have a decision to upgrade or not, and it means continual expenses, right? Unless I opt for the free upgrade, but Logos 10 does not yet have that. Does the free upgrade also include the free upgrade to the speed level of Logos 10?

In addition, Faithlife provide recommended hardware/software requirements as a guide to users.
