Microsoft seems to be giving its users a reason to call the start of the year a happy one! The company is reportedly allowing its users to upgrade from Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 and to Windows 10 for free.
How to Upgrade to Windows 10 for Free 1. Find a copy of Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 as you'll need the key later. If you don't have one lying around, but it's currently installed on your system, a free.
While the promo offer was supposed to end on December 31, the Redmond company seems to have come up with something else. The offer for systems with accessibility features apparently allow the free upgrade to Windows 10 without the customer shelling out a penny for it.
This is definitely good news for the users but also exposes a loophole in the system. As the accessibility feature was not checked, any Windows 7 and 8.1 user was allowed to complete the upgrade to Windows 10 without any cost.
The company has reportedly said, 'If you use assistive technologies, you can upgrade to Windows 10 at no cost as Microsoft continues our efforts to improve the Windows 10 experience for people who use these technologies. Please take advantage of this offer before it expires on December 31, 2017.'
- When Windows 10 first arrived, nabbing a free upgrade was as simple as clicking the 'Get Windows 10' notification prompt.Things are a bit different now, however.
- A: With Windows 10, we will offer a free upgrade to Windows 10 for qualified Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 devices that upgrade in the first year. This upgrade offer is for the full version of Windows 10, not a trial or temporary version of Windows 10.
- Microsoft's free upgrade offer for Windows 10 ended more than four years ago, but no one told the people who run the Windows activation servers. As a result, you can still upgrade to Windows 10.

Free Windows 10.1 Upgrade
The upgrade is still available, and Ghacks has apparently written that using the loophole indeed is indeed beneficial as it allows for a free install of Windows 10.
It is also possible that Microsoft will block upgrades soon. And this means that the users will have some more time to switch to Windows 10 without paying extra.
