Tip: if you change multiple components in your PC as part of a device upgrade, Windows 10 may mistakenly think you’ve bought a new PC and refuse to register the licence automatically. OR enter your (genuine) Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key if you haven’t previously activated your old version of Windows.

Choose: ' Upgrade this PC now' then click ‘Next’. When finished, open the download and accept the license terms. Click ' Download Tool now' - this downloads the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool. Click on the Windows 10 download page link here. With that caveat out the way, here’s how you get your Windows 10 free upgrade: Home licences update to Windows 10 Home, Pro licences update to Windows 10 Pro, so choose carefully. Tip: if you don’t have one, you can buy a legal copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8 at third part retailers for a fraction of the cost of a Windows 10 licence. There’s just one snag: you will need a legal copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8 to do this. Despite Microsoft ending its free Windows 10 upgrade offer to all users on July 30, 2016, the company has (in my opinion, knowingly) left open a loophole. Free Windows 10 upgrades are still available Gordon Kelly
