I just read it's actually still possible to upgrade for free: Microsoft keeps the option open for people who use the "assistive technologies", and all you have to do is to say acknowledge that you use them, there is no actual check. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgrade https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgra... > For the general public, the free upgrade offer for Windows 10 ends on July 29. > However, if you use assistive technologies, you can still get the free upgrade > offer even after the general public deadline expires as Microsoft continues our > efforts to improve the Windows 10 experience for people who use these technologies.

I'm not surprised that there isn't any check, because what MS considers "assistive technology" is extremely broad: https://www.microsoft.com/enable/at/types.aspx https://www.microsoft.com/enable/at/types.aspx Do you use an alternative keyboard layout, a trackball, or even a touch screen(!)? Have you used the on-screen keyboard, or the built-in screen magnifier? Then you've used an "assistive technology", according to Microsoft. Combine that with their desire to push Windows 10 on everyone, and you can see they're probably going to leave this option open for the near future.
