When Windows 10 first launched, Microsoft ran a promotion offering
free upgrades for a year. While that program ended in July of 2016,
free upgrades have remained available through an exception for users
who take advantage of "assistive technologies." Though that
exception was due to end on December 31, 2017, Microsoft has quietly
extended the upgrade another couple of weeks (via MSPU).

In an update to the upgrade offer page FAQ, Microsoft now states
that the upgrade offer will end on January 16.

"If you use assistive technologies, you can upgrade to Windows 10 at
no cost as Microsoft continues our efforts to improve the Windows 10
experience for people who use these technologies. Please take
advantage of this offer before it expires on January 16, 2018."

.... more ....

Note: That is for "assistive technologies" only.

I tested it Dec.31 and there was no skill testing
question or anything. It just looked like an ordinary
installation procedure.

I have a friend who has Win7 64bit Pro and I was wondering if he could
upgrade to Win10 64bit Pro without cost?
Is there a procedure to got through, and if so, what is it.
I don't know what "assistive technologies" means, but I will try to
check it out.

Thanks in advance.

worked for me
But S%#T happens. Full system backup first.
