Upgrade to Windows 10 FREE
It isn’t every day that someone offers you something you can actually use for free! Microsoft is making Windows 10 available as a free upgrade for compatible devices that are running genuine Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or Windows 8.1 Update. This free upgrade is a full version of Windows (not a trial or introductory version) and is available until July 29, 2016. Once you upgrade, you’ll have Windows 10 for free on that device. The free upgrade offer isn’t available for devices running Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Enterprise editions of Windows. Microsoft recommends that all eligible PCs upgrade to Windows 10 for the best, most up-to-date security to protect you in today’s online world.
Click a button in the Get Windows 10 app that says “Reserve my upgrade”, “Upgrade now”, “Upgrade later”, or “Schedule my upgrade.” The Get Windows 10 app shows up as a Windows icon in the notification area at the right end of your taskbar (the taskbar is the ribbon of icons on the bottom of your desktop). During the set-up of a new PC, check a box that says “Reserve my free Windows 10 upgrade,” “Upgrade now,” or “Upgrade later.”
