Ways to Upgrade to Windows 10 for Free

The Microsoft’s free offer for upgrading to the Windows 10 for free is officially ended. Interestingly, it is not entirely true at all. There are still not only one but several ways to upgrade to Windows 10 for free. Alternatively, you can do a clean reinstallation of Windows 10 on your computer and use it free.

Upgrading to Windows 10 while Ignoring the Activation Alerts

In fact, you don’t have to enter a product key in order to install the Windows 10 on your PC while upgrading from previous Windows versions. Follow the below-mentioned steps to upgrade to Windows 10 without a product key:

  1. Download Windows 10 Installation Media tool.
  2. Install Windows 10 using it. 
  3. When asked to put in the activation key, just skip that and continue the installation.  
  4. Now you can freely use the Windows 10 even without the key.  

However, you will every time see a warning that you are using inactivated Windows 10.In case you don’t want to see the constant warning from Microsoft, then you can buy a product key right there, and your Windows 10 will be activated.Keep in mind that there are no issues in using the Windows 10 without activation, not even a single one problem is there.  

But if you want to put your own background in an inactivated Windows, then you will see the black screen again on next startup. Users also get 30 days free trial and afterwards you will begin seeing the activation warning.
