It has been more than 4 years since Microsoft has launched the final version of Windows to its users but the figure is still not close to the expected 1 billion target Pc’s by the company. Microsoft offered a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8 users in 1st year of its launch i.e. up to 29th July 2019. Looking at the fewer number of upgrades on the board, Microsoft has decided to stretch the free offer period for the users of assistive technologies but that too was not able to raise the number of upgrades.
Officially, from Microsoft, the free upgrade is no longer available but Windows 7 and 8 user always manages to get a free upgrade of Windows 10. It might happen that Microsoft intentionally left a loophole to welcome the users to upgrade to Windows 10.
Let us tell you the workaround to upgrade your PCs to Windows 10 for free.
How to Get The Free Windows 10 Upgrade in 2019?
- Start with downloading the ‘Media Creation Tool’ from Microsoft’s official website.
- Install and run the tool.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
- Choose between the options – upgrade for your own PC or create installation media for another machine.
- Finally, install Windows 10. Make sure your PC is connected to the internet and restart your PC.
