If you missed the Windows 10 free upgrade deadline, there’s still hope.


Windows 10 has been available as a free upgrade for some time, but last week Microsoft put an end to all that. However, this isn’t the case.

Microsoft opened up a free upgrade offer extension for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 assistive technology users. giving people a little more time to upgrade for free. Although this is only intended for assistive technology users, there’s really no way in verifying this.

To upgrade to Windows 10, you’ll just need to download an EXE file tucked away in Microsoft’s hidden accessibility site.

There’s isn’t any word when Microsoft will pull the plug on this, but they have assured they’ll make a public announced when they plan to do it.

So moral of the story here, download it now before it’s too late.
