* Window 10 FREE upgrade for Windows 7 or 8 Registered users ! *
Microsoft is still allowing Windows 7 and 8.x users to upgrade their systems (which must be activated) for __*FREE*__ to a Windows 10 of the same family.
Someone running Windows 7 Home, Home Premium or Ultimate can go thru it, and have a legal and Activated Windows 10 Home digital license at the end. A Windows 7 or 8 Pro install will upgrade to a Windows 10 Professional, fully licensed.
I have done it, twice, in recent days. And it's EASY, anyone can do it.

@design_RG I highly recommend installing GNU Linux instead of Windows (just in case if you're not forced to do otherwise). 🙂
@phlegmaticvolk Linux is a good suggestion, I like the system, ideally for a serve type machine. I have installed it in personal systems here at home but never committed and stuck with it as a migration requires. I find it hard to be a noobie in a new O.S, after so many years of working productively in Windows platform.
Although I preferred the Server versions, they were stable and fast, I stripped them down to a Workstation configuration and they were rock solid. Still have fond memories of them. 😺
I was thinking earlier today of using a spare laptop and set up a version of Linux, for testing some software I am interested in. Which version do you use, like and recommend?
@design_RG Basically all the distributions are the same... BUT in case you want to get something stable, easy to learn, go for Linux Mint/Ubuntu (for older machines xubuntu is preferable).
Personally, I use Manjaro right now, this is a rolling distro based on Arch - can be painful is you get a package conflict or don't upgrade it regularly, can be broken fairly quick.
To be a bit more protected, install Timeshift on your distro, this is a really neat backup and restore tool. Rsync is more of a traditional method, universal for all kinds of filesystems, for a rolling release like Manjaro, I suggest snapshot function with btrfs filesystem.
I am not an expert, but let me know if you need help.
@phlegmaticvolk Thank you, that was excellent. Will do. Have a great day!
@design_RG Same for you too. 🙂
