"This free Windows 10 upgrade offer still works. Here's why -- and how to get it

More than three years after Microsoft’s free upgrade offer officially ended, people are still reporting successful Windows 10 upgrades from older machines. Here’s the latest extremely unofficial report."

I am testing this right now -- someone pointed to the article after seeing my Blog post yesterday about very low priced OEM Windows 10 license keys.

Apparently, the Windows Installation tool still works, and an upgrade from a licensed Win 7 or Win 8.x system should complete and have a Digital License issued to it.

In a nutshell, got a Win 7 or 8.x system with a validated license?

Get the Windows Upgrade Tool here and go to business : microsoft.com/software-downloa

Test Report -- It WORKED 100% fine.

Wonderful tip. Thanks @ryen !!

(re: your tip about ZDNews article about win7 and win8 free upgrade still possible)
