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 in Windows 10 as part of the “assistive technologies” offer.
As we have said in a previous publication January 16th has been (re)set by Microsoft be the last day to upgrade to Windows 10 for free, from older operating systems.
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 (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 of last year, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 was installed in approximately 600 million devices.
But if there are some who still think about it:
