Upgrade To Windows 10 For Free When Microsoft Has Stopped It

Microsoft released Windows 10 last year and since then, they were offered the free upgrade program for users who have run Windows 7, Windows 8.1 with a genius license. However, the free upgrade from Microsoft was ended last month, July 29, 2016. For some reasons, many users have missed this free upgrade.

How about I said you still can upgrade to Windows 10 for free at this moment? It's right! In fact, Microsoft has stopped its free upgrade program since July 29, but they are still giving the free upgrade for users who are using assistive technologies on their PC.

How To Take This Free Upgrade As A Second Change


To grab this offer from Microsoft and upgrade your Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 PC to Windows 10, simply go to Microsoft's Accessibility page and then download the "Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant" program by clicking on the "Upgrade Now" button.

Once you have downloaded the tool, launch it, select the "Accept" button to accept the license agreement. After that, the upgrade tool will automatically upgrade your computer to Windows 10. Then your computer will be running Microsoft's Windows 10 and has a new digital license which you can use to reinstall Windows in the future.

Also, you can choose to upgrade to Windows 10 and then downgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 within 30 days. After downgrading, your computer still has a digital license so that you can use in the future when you upgrade to Windows 10 again.

Microsoft keeps this offer for users who are using assistive technologies because they want these users to have enough time to upgrade to Windows 10 and grab the Windows 10's Anniversary Update. The main reason behinds this is in the Anniversary Update, Microsoft has improved many assistive technologies, such as narrator, high contrast desktop theme, or on-screen keyboard. Many Windows users who are using assistive technologies don't want to upgrade to Windows 10 before those features improve. So that's the point why Microsoft extends the free upgrade for these users.

However, this offer probably will not last long. Currently, there is no official word from Microsoft about when this offer will end. But one thing for sure, they will issue a public announcement soon.
