Windows 10: Observation.

However, the accessibility upgrade isn't even needed. If you download the Windows Media Creation Tool and use it, you have been able to upgrade all along. The only thing that MS discontinued, that I'm aware of, is the GW10 stuff that was pushing the upgrade hard.

 

A logical assumption is that the free licence after an upgrade had to be left in place as it was the way accessibility upgrades got theirs. But they officially end on 31st December, so it can (at last) be turned off.

The only way to test that theory is to wait for the New Year then try upgrading a machine that has no licence yet - there can't be many of those left, but I have one I can use to test that.

 

The accessibility upgrade path always required one to "lie" and agree that the upgrade was needed for accessibility reasons. No such trickery is needed when using the Windows Media Creation Tool so I'd suggest to forget about the accessibility upgrade path and test the WMCT upgrade path after the 31st.

I suggest you edit your post before moderator decides to delete your post.

FYI: I am not a moderator but just a regular who appreciates the high standard, and indeed I have had posts deleted which on reflection was totally correct.
