The series continues…. After several deadline extensions, January 16 is reportedly the last day for Windows 7 and 8.1 PC owners to free upgrade to Windows 10 as part of the “assistive technologies” offer.
As we have said in a previous publication January 16 is (again) set by Microsoft to be the last day of free upgrades to Windows 10, from earlier operating systems.
For the record in July 2016, Microsoft officially ended the Get Windows 10 program, which allowed anyone running a supported version of Windows a free upgrade to Windows 10.
However, the free upgrade offer remained open (artificially, like Kapodistrias' potato fable) to people using technologies supports in Windows 7 and 8.1.
Of course, the company did not confirm whether all those who upgraded their systems were using support technologies.
Microsoft has expanded recently the deadline for the upgrade offer until January, after the previous one expired, (without expiring) on December 31, 2017.
This free upgrade would obviously have little effect on the absorption of Windows 10 as it did not concern businesses, and those people and small businesses did not upgrade for two years and more are unlikely to do so at the last minute.
In November last year, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 was installed on about 600 millions Appliances.
But if there are some who still think about it:
If you need an inexpensive license for Windows 7, or 8 to allow you a free update, read the following publication.
