Microsoft finally stopped offering free upgrades from Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.
Το "κενό" που επέτρεπε αναβαθμίσεις παλαιοτέρων συστημάτων σε Windows 10, σταμάτησε να λειτουργεί από χθες το μεσημέρι, while in the morning the free page Upgrade still had download links.
For the July 2016 story, Microsoft officially completed the Get Windows 10 program, which allowed anyone who ran a supported version of Windows to a free upgrade to Windows 10.
However, the free upgrade offer remained open (in fact, like the fairy tale with Kapodistria's potatoes) for people using support technologies in Windows 7 and 8.1.
Of course, the company did not confirm whether all those who upgraded their systems were using support technologies.
Since yesterday, Microsoft has stopped offering free upgrade, and the official promo website he says:
"Σας ευχαριστούμε για το ενδιαφέρον σας για τα Windows 10. Η επέκταση της προσφοράς δωρεάν αναβάθμισης για χρήστες των Windows 7 και Windows 8 που χρησιμοποιούν τεχνολογίες υποστήριξης, έληξε στις 31 Δεκεμβρίου 2017. Ως εναλλακτική λύση, τα λογισμικά αλλά και συσκευές με Windοws 10 είναι διαθέσιμες για αγορά από το κατάστημα λιανικής πώλησης."
So from now on, those who use Windows 7, 8.1 and want to upgrade to Windows 10 have no choice but to buy a license, which of course costs. In the United States, Window 10 Home costs 119,99 dollars while the Pro version is sold for 199,99 dollars.
According to the latest statistics data posted by NetMarketShare, Windows 7 is the OS system number one desktop computer with a market share of 43,08%, followed by Windows 10 with 32,93%.
