#LAST DAY TO CONVERT TO WINDOWS 10 UPGRADE#
Microsoft is trying to sweeten the pot with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, which will be released on August 2, four days after the upgrade deadline. Windows 7 is still running on more than 50% of Windows PCs. The lag is fueled partially by disappointing Windows 10 phone sales, and by customers reluctant to let go of older versions of Windows. Only 350 million devices are currently running Windows 10, and it will need at least two more years to hit the billion mark, according to the company. The company even confidently predicted it would have Windows 10 installed on 1 billion devices by mid-2018.īut Microsoft recently walked back its 1 billion goal. The operating system upgrade would be available as a free download for one year. When Microsoft first unveiled Windows 10 last July, it included an offer it thought users couldn’t refuse. Those are some of the bigger features coming on August 2 with an “Anniversary Update.” If you’re still on the fence, Microsoft hopes the allure of a slightly more Echo-like Cortana, beefed-up stylus support, and the ability to log onto sites with your face will win you over. If you like waiting right until the deadline, you have until 5:59am EDT/2:59am PDT Saturday morning to upgrade for free. Your computer must also meet Microsoft’s requirements. The free upgrade applies to eligible tablets and PCs running Windows 7 or newer operation systems. After today, the Home version will cost $120 and the Pro version will cost $200. Late tonight or very early tomorrow morning, upgrading from an old version of Windows to Windows 10 will no longer be free.
