Jomie   30 #4 Posted February 8, 2017 You have missed the free upgrade so will need to purchase a copy of Windows 10 but before you go ahead, check that your computer is going to run it OK. How old is it and what is the operating system? If it is Windows 8.1 then an upgrade to W10 should be OK. If it is older you should take steps to find out if your machine is capable of handling the upgrade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Love2print   10 #5 Posted February 8, 2017 Have a read of this, not sure how current it is though. http://www.zdnet.com/article/heres-how-you-can-still-get-a-free-windows-10-upgrade/  The article says 5th Jan 2017 so I would have thought it would still work. I'm sure I heard that Microsoft are focussing more on businesses hence them not heing so bothered about consumers paying for the upgrade. Also the issues of vunerabilities in older software causing problems for their corporate clients, easier and more secure if everyone was on the latest version of Windows.  What is written in the article is not difficult to do, I wonder if the OP has a friend of family member to help?

Thanks  In a round about way you can still get W10 for free I have used this method and it gets you W10 legitimately if you already have W7 or W8.1 (don't think it works with W8 ).  https://www.cnet.com/uk/how-to/microsoft-windows-10-free-upgrade-offer-assistive-features/ Edited February 10, 2017 by alankearn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Bonjon   10 #10 Posted February 25, 2017 Did someone just say you have to pay for Windows , 7 , 8 , 10  It's not worth the hassle to pirate it these days, for £20 there is no point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Jomie   30 #12 Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) Thank you to everyone who supplied the various information and links. The assistive technologies option is still working but when I tried it, the message came up that it would leave files in place. I wanted a clean install upgrade from Windows 7 so it wasn't suitable. In the end, W10 installed ok, and activated using the Media Creation Tool. Edited June 26, 2017 by Jomie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
