You can still upgrade to Windows 10 for for free

Posted on Monday, August 01 2016 @ 23:03 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Microsoft's free Windows 10 upgrade offer expired a couple of days ago but it looks like there's a new loophole designed for customers using assistive technology. As The Verge reports, you can still upgrade to Windows 10 for free via Microsoft's accessibility site, all you need to to is download an EXE file.

The upgrade tool doesn't contain any checks and Microsoft says it will remain available until further notice.

For the general public, the free upgrade offer for Windows 10 ends on July 29. However, if you use assistive technologies, you can still get the free upgrade offer even after the general public deadline expires as Microsoft continues our efforts to improve the Windows 10 experience for people who use these technologies.

By the way, the Windows 10 Anniversary Update will be rolled out tomorrow (August 2nd).
