We wouldn’t worry about it for home PCs, but organizations should likely contact their Microsoft licensing partner for more details. If you have Windows 7 PCs in your business, Microsoft may not consider you compliant with the terms of its licensing agreement after using this method to upgrade your business PCs. Update: Note that we can’t speak to the business licensing side of things here. And, after you do upgrade, your PC gets a valid Windows 10 key that will keep working-even if Microsoft stops allowing new upgrades in the future. Microsoft may one day pull the plug and cut off new upgrades. There’s no guarantee this will work forever, but it still worked on January 14, 2020. You just have to provide a valid Windows 7 (or Windows 8) key. You can also upgrade a PC by doing a fresh install of Windows 10, even if it doesn’t have any operating system installed. Your PC will get a genuine, activated Windows 10 key-just like it worked during Windows 10’s first year when the free upgrade offer was officially being advertised.
Assuming you’re using a Windows PC with a genuine and activated Windows 7 (or Windows 8) key, you can upgrade to Windows 10 in just a few clicks.
