You can still upgrade your Windows PC to the latest Windows 10 operating system for free if you use assistive technology. You can get Windows 10 for free as Microsoft hasn’t blocked the free upgrade path yet. However, you’ll need to have the genuine Windows 7 or 8.1 licenses in order to upgrade your machine.
Are you going to upgrade?
Many PC users without accessibility needs are taking advantage of this loop hole for a free upgrade because Microsoft doesn’t verify whether or not you are using the assistive technologies, basically, they will let you upgrade your old Windows machine to Windows 10 at no extra cost. If you have the genuine license of Windows 7 or 8.1, you are good to go, however, if your old machine isn’t activated, you cannot get the free upgrade offer. Despite Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, the upgrade continues to be available today.
When does the upgrade offer extension end?
Microsoft has confirmed that the offer will come to an end December 31, 2017.
How to get Windows 10 for free:
- Visit Windows 10 free upgrade for customers who use assistive technologies page.
- Click on ‘Upgrade Now’.
- The Upgrade Assistant tool will now upgrade your machine to Windows 10.
That’s it. This is how you can get Windows 10 for free in 2017.
