Windows 10 is no longer free, how can you update?

[OyaYansa]

 

You can no longer update for free to Windows 10. The date provided by Microsoft, the last of them - this time yes - has passed. If you are still on Windows 8 or 8.1, we are sorry but you are running out of alternatives to move to the latest version of the operating system. Soon the support for W7 will end and you will be forced to update to guarantee your security.

That said, not all options are over. The problem is that even if you have an original Windows 7 license, Microsoft will force you to go through the box if you want to download Windows 10, which is no longer free. You can not say that the company has not warned, and is that the window of time to download the latest version has been open for several years.

The last trick was to register through the accessibility options to upgrade to Windows 10 for free, but it does not work anymore.

 

First option to upgrade to W10: buy a license
As we have said, there is no option to download the new -or not so new- Microsoft OS without paying. The option to install it on your PC is to buy a license, something you can do on Microsoft's own website.

There are other distributors that sell them, such as Media Markt or El Corte Inglés. However, on their websites these licenses appear to be out of print and there is no indication that they have copies in their centers.

There are two versions of Windows 10 available: the Home - the most usual for the home - and the Pro, which includes specialized software for companies. We also include a link to buy the cheapest license in PcComponentes.

 

Change equipment, another non-disposable alternative
If you use Windows 7 or 8.1 on a PC that is several years old, perhaps it is best to do it with a new one. Windows 10 consumes more resources than previous versions of the system, so maybe your computer is not quite right.

Without purchasing a new computer with Windows 10 pre-installed, you will automatically have your license activated, because these products are included in the factory.

It's not the same as upgrading to Windows 10 for free, but if you keep in mind that laptop prices have dropped a lot, maybe it's time to take the step.
