DaveRo Tech: Windows 10 upgrade is still free! (50) RE: Tech: Windows 10 upgrade is still free! 29 Jul 18


Yes, you can install Windows 10 from MS servers and run it without activating it. You get a watermark saying 'Activate Windows...' and you cannot personalise it - so you're stuck with the default wallpaper. I have such a machine - I use it to test the big biannual 'feature updates'.

The free upgrade (and activation) from Win 7 expired in 2016.

ISTR Win 10 introduced a new music player so it might not have played existing music tracks without a bit of configuring. As usual, installing VLC would be a good start.
