The free update of Windows 10 officially ended on July 29, but is still possible to upgrade using genuine keys of Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 . Several users in online forums reported that remain managing to activate the new Windows on older machines even after the deadline.
In response to ZDNet, Microsoft has not confirmed that the free upgrade is still available, but also not denied this is happening. In practice, PC users equipped with Windows old activated can download the version 10 and use the original key to activate it forever.
the upgrade procedure remains active, however, is not the most common of all. This is because the persistent balloon informing about downloading Windows 10 no longer appears, forcing the user to make a manual update. For this, you need to download media creation tool Microsoft and select the “Update this computer now.”
According to reports from users, Windows 10 can still be downloaded and installed in this way, and automatically activated through a key already validated on Windows 7, 8 or 8.1.
in addition to still use old keys, there is an alternative that remains valid. Microsoft continues to offer the Windows 10 officially for free through the website of assistive technologies. This means that even if the above option fails, you can still download and enjoy the new Windows free of charge.
