    future questions about getting a free upgrade after 29 July


    As far as I know, the free upgrade to 10 is going away in a few hours.

    I speculate that there will be at least a few posts asking how to get the free upgrade after the offer's expiration.

    (That may include some who do an upgrade through means other than Windows Update, and find that MS won't activate their copies.)

    So who will be first to step up to the plate?

    (I almost count the poster who hasn't upgraded yet, and who will be out of town through the end of the free period. Not quite the same as someone who is feverishly trying to do the upgrade at the last nanosecond, though.)

    :)

    You've been told incorrectly and/or misunderstood.

    You can get the free upgrade anytime between July 29, 2015 and July 29, 2016. Once you get it - it is YOURS indefinitely on that specific system (systems) you get it on. It never goes away. You got it. Always.

    Now if you don't claim the free upgrade during the given year on some system, you'll have to pay to upgrade that system (if you want to) after July 29, 2016.

    There is no paying for anything in the foreseeable and documented future where the free Windows 10 upgrade offer is concerned.
