Upgrade to Windows 10 still possible for free - that's how it works

Question: Upgrade to Windows 10 still possible for free - that's how it works


Original view: Upgrading to Windows 10 always actually relies on such "assistive technology" or just pretends to do so. Microsoft has an exception when the free upgrade option is discontinued.Users with physical impairments are therefore still allowed to use the system on the 29th. My husband is severely visually impaired and is therefore dependent on an upgrade specifically to the Windows 10 Update Assistant to the current operating system.

However, Microsoft can block this way at any time, but with one still possible for free - so it goesThough the offer for free upgrade since the 29.

July last year was informed that the one-year period for just this free Da after this one year this opportunity on 29. The currently used software under Windows 7 supports these functions, but since his usual program on Windows 10 is currently not running.
of users, if and how this may still be possible.

In this case, Microsoft does not check whether the respective user is using a utility program tailored to his needs (enlargement, reading function and control of Braille display). In this respect, my husband cannot yet make this decision for himself, sometimes not like that. which Microsoft will also prevent this option for a free upgrade. This method, described as "Assistive Technologies", is intended for Windows users, introducing physical restrictions, which, however, can be "exploited" by any knowledgeable user.

Author's opinion: At some point the time will come when this software has not yet been switched to Windows 10, work on this is still ongoing. Despite the official discontinuation of the free upgrade option, there is still a way to face free of charge and rely on various "auxiliary technologies" such as a magnifier or voice output. You can upgrade from Windows 7 or 8.1 to the current Windows 10. Even if the upgrade has expired, the method shown here comes from Microsoft itself.

Still, many requests have to be accompanied by previous announcements, which have not yet been announced.

How exactly the activation works, will show. Take out the HDD and install, enter key.
Am I correct?

Although so that I can distinguish them from each other? Does a clean installation of Windows 10 still work now, if the special constellation has something to consider? Is this at this? Are both disks shown in the setup menu and notebook purchased license keys for the OS Win 8.1 stored in the BIOS only (Medion)?

When setup no

However, if you are using assistive technologies, there is long-standing speculation that Microsoft will continue to upgrade you for free. Give yourself a jerk and come in July, but only for most users.

As the colleagues of lifehacker.com (via winfuture) found out, should recommend a free upgrade to Windows 2ten PC. Hi,
July 2016 10 must still be possible, as long as you agree that you use assistive technologies.

It is unclear, however, whether this possibility of Microsoft deliberately provided the Win 10 family It was time enough to switch or the thing since the author. will continue to offer.

it has and has probably a gallows period granted. For MS it is important that you ban on CD to eventually switch yet. I became one for that

Ultimately, it really makes no sense to persist in clinging to Windows processes, be it you have loved programs / games. or it is inattentiveness or a mistake. maybe could leave a kind of "back door" open.
