Hi,
Free update is available for Windows 7 and 8.1 users.

I found this link to upgrade initially through a Russian website which directed me to the Microsoft upgrade page.

Sorry to say that MSE posting rules are preventing me from leaving the link if you want the upgrade just send me a message and I will send it to you.

Edited to add a bit more information about the upgrade from the website I found which has been translated from Russian to English. It seems anyone can upgrade to Windows 10.

Nevertheless, it is now available a method of performing a free upgrade . It is associated with the new proposal, which was announced on July 29, and Microsoft does not seem to contain any restrictions.

Windows 10 can be installed absolutely free of charge for users of assistive technology, but the funny thing is that the company does not check the use of these functions in practice or not. As a result, any user can upgrade to Windows 10 without paying a license. Therefore, Microsoft found a way to accurately complete promotional campaign. free upgrade at the same time continues to offer free system.

Microsoft says: "For ordinary users a free upgrade offer ended on 29 July. However, if you use assistive technology, you can get a free upgrade after that date under the program to improve the ease of use for people who are using these technologies.
