  1. Take advantage of the upgrade loophole

If you didn’t take advantage of the free Windows 10 upgrade offer, Microsoft says that you need to purchase a license for the Windows 10 Creators Update. We do have a very good piece of news for you: you can still qualify for the free upgrade through two channels.

Windows 10 is still free for assistive technology users. It appears that Microsoft doesn’t perform any verification at all to make sure your computer is running assistive technologies.  Also, you can simply download Microsoft Update Assistant and upgrade to Windows 10 for free. We recently used this method to upgrade out last Windows 7 computer.

  1. Contact Microsoft Support

Yes, you can also contact Microsoft Support and request a free upgrade from Windows 7, 8.1 to Windows 10. The support agent will provide you with an exception link allowing to upgrade to Windows 10 for free.
