Recall back to October when Microsoft outlined the free Windows 10 upgrade conclusion on December 31 specifically for users of Windows 7, 8, and Windows 8.1 utilizing assistive technology.
Don't miss out on the final opportunity for users to upgrade to Windows 10 for free this week.
After the first year of allowing free Windows 10 upgrades, users still have the option to download the new operating system for free with assistive technology support. All users need to do is visit Microsoft's help page and state that they are using assistive technologies on the Windows 7 or 8 system to download the latest version of Windows.
Last chance for users to upgrade to Windows 10 for free this week. The upgrade process concludes on December 31. According to Microsoft:
“If you are using assistive technologies, you can upgrade to Windows 10 for free because Microsoft is continuing to improve the Windows 10 experience for users utilizing these technologies. Please take advantage of these offers before they expire on December 31, 2017.”
With the option of a free upgrade, some believe this week is the last opportunity for users to download Windows 10 for free. However, according to WCCFTECH, the Redmond software giant states that any user with a valid product key can also upgrade to Windows 10 using the Media Creation Tool:
“Users will be prompted to enter a valid product key when upgrading from Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 to Windows 10 through both Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant and Media Creation Tool. Individuals can use the Media Creation Tool to generate a Windows 10 installation file. The product key will be required during the initial installation of Windows 10 on the device. Additionally, users can also utilize Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant to update their Windows 10 computer to the latest version.”
Don't hesitate to seize the last opportunity. Why wait? Take advantage of the final chance for users to upgrade to Windows 10 for free this week.
If you are a Windows 10 user, you may want to consider using the Windows Hello security feature, given the warnings that Windows 10 devices are vulnerable to attacks via Windows Hello by tricking the facial recognition system of this feature.
