Good question. If I were you, I would use that wonderful tool called
Google and it has most answers in respect of questions asked by people
like you. You are still using Vista, are you not? So this is your
opportunity to try google if it knows Vista can be upgraded free of
charge. Please try Google and let us know what you found.

When you reply please also let us know if all Japanese are ID-10-Ts like
you.

Thank you.

Do it TODAY.

If you've never installed it before, there may be
some work to do.

Any computer project, you should allow 30 days
for its completion. The 30 day timer is already
ticking. You would be foolish to wait for the
last day.

"Why wait for Spring, do it now."

The question you ask, is like doing your
Christmas shopping, on Christmas Eve day,
and expecting a good outcome.

You need to do a backup of the existing
materials, before starting. To do the
procedure safely, there are things to do before
starting the install. Maybe you don't have a
backup storage device ? And need to buy one ?
That's part of the 30 day total project
execution time... Buying a backup drive.
Having it shipped to you.

The WAITING time is over. It is
now the DOING time.

There is no free upgrade from Vista to 10. A free upgrade is available
only from 7 or 8.1, and the last day is July 29.

Unless they extend it after counting how many were tricked to "upgrade"
and rolled back.

Might they extend it? Sure.

Do I think they will? No.

We'll see.

The really weird part of the campaign, is
how featureless the graph is. For all the dirty tricks,
comments in the media, it seems to have had no effect at
all in terms of trends.

I could have sworn, early on, that most of the conversion
was coming from Win8.1, but look at the curves now. You
would be hard pressed to see any sign of a "motivation"
in that graph.

Why don't those curves have lumps in them ?

I'd like that, actually. Should I look into it or just wait for the
*important* "Upgrade to Windows 10 or we'll kill this kitten" security
update for Vista?

Vista users are not part of any campaigns.

You are quite quite safe.

I sure wish my XP system had not broken. I do not want to be a
target either. I am running Windows 7 and have turned off updates,
because I do not want Windows 10.

Why not stop using Windows completely until after 2nd August 2016?

Microsoft were simply experimenting to see if free products have any
market but apparently not. No wonder no sensible person is using Linux
or their free office products.

Microsoft managed to push about 350 million copies of Windows but if
they decide to release another operating system, I doubt if they could
get similar numbers even if they give it out to anybody who wants it.
The reason is that people can do everything they want from a machine by
using whatever they currently have. The only time they need a new OS is
when they want to run something new which can't otherwise be run in
their current OS.

I knew that. My comment was about the above idea that Microsoft might
"extend" it to include Vista. If they see that their market share falls
short of the desired number because of people rolling back because they
don't want Windows 10 anywhere near their machines they might pick up
more 'takers' by allowing Vista users to upgrade also. Extending only
the deadline probably wouldn't change things all that much because
people who were reluctant then will likely still be reluctant in the
future.

There is no upgrade for Vista.

I knew that too, but the above idea was a 'what if' scenario. I stated
that I would like that because it would be a new lease on life for the
Windows part of my dual boot (Vista/Fedora) machine.

You are quite quite safe.

Paul

My comment was slightly in jest, but I can certainly see how that could
be missed if you think that more time would result in more takers. I
don't think so since it has been made obvious that they were trying to
shove it down our throats and the reluctance is likely to persist even
if people are given more time to comply with the demand to upgrade to
Windows 10. --- more cheekiness I'm afraid ---^

I use GWX Control Panel, but you can also use Never10 from GRC. Either way,
you can download and install every update, (if you want to). Those apps
prevent the upgrade to Win 10.

Also, I don't know what "broken" means, but I assume you can still use XP if
you want to, by simply fixing the broken system. Plenty of others still use
XP.
