It will activate, apparently it is still free.

Microsoft still does quietly offer the option
to get Windows 10 for free using Windows 7 and 8 product keys, even though the free
upgrade offer officially ended on July 29, 2016.)

 

Can you still get Windows 10 for free?

Hi

Is this still available?

I successfully upgraded a friend's computer to Windows 10 after reading this article. That was a few months ago though and I wonder if it still works? Has anyone successfully done the upgrade recently?

 

A million thanks for posting this, Shawn! *Smile

I saw a similar older article about this topic about a month ago. I was going to post it and decided against it since it wasn't tested as of recent. Not sure, but I'm thinking it still works. Here's why:

I bought this tower with W7 Home on it. I upgraded to 10 as soon as the free upgrade was offered, which gives it digital entitlement. I have a System Builders/OEM W8 Pro that was on my lappy, then upgraded that to 10 Pro. According to the EULA I can move that 8 to any machine as long as I remove it from previous others. After reading that article I thought to load my 8 onto this tower, then upgrade to 10 just to get Pro instead of Home. I wasn't sure if it would work or worth the hassle since I dual boot with the Insider builds.

Anywho, this inspired me just to enter my 8 Pro keys into the upgrade aspect on the Settings app > System, which takes it to the Activation page and walla! Lookie see! Woo hoo!! Oh happy day! *Dinesh *Party

 

Finished painlessly in 5 minutes. All it really did was unlock all the Pro features. *Smile





Clicked on the notification banner when completed and this opened.

 

My Insider 16241 upgraded to Pro as well. *Dinesh

BTW, the upgrade to Pro in the store was $100. I just saved that or at least the hassle of trying it the other way. If it wasn't for you posting this I probably would've never tried this, Shawn. *Smile

 

Those PC's will now have Digital Licenses for Home and Pro, your choice which one you want to install. Assuming they already had DL's for Home. You don't ever lose those, even if you upgrade to Pro with a change product code. I have PC's with DL's for Home, Pro, Education, and even Enterprise. *Eek

 

Stupid question, upgrading to Pro allows you to switch languages in the OS without any hassle?
I'm seriously thinking on buying a key for pro... I'm tired of Home edition and all it's restrictions...

 

There's no stupid question > Just the people that don't ask them.

Thank you @HippsieGypsie.

That helps me a ton *Biggrin

 

Just upgraded a W8.1 lappy 2 days ago. Guess MS are still giving away W10.

 

I don't know why they don't just make the Home version free forever...what a grand gesture that would be by MS.

 

I upgraded a newly installed and activated Windows 8.1 Home to Windows 10 Core this past Friday, 7/28. It was activated when the upgrade completed. The day before I clean installed a Windows 10 Pro using a Windows 7 Pro key. It activated when the install completed.

Neither computer had previously had Windows 10 installed.
