Today Starts The Last 5 Days!!!
Last 5 days for the free upgrade folks, if you have been thinking about it and have been putting it off, this is the time to do it!
Just make a system image before hand, upgrade either through Windows update, or my preferred method, MCT on a USB stick(so you have a copy of the image saved in a safe place), and then upgrade and get your Windows 10 digital license for that specific PC when it activates through Microsoft's servers.
You can then reimage back Windows 8 if you wish to keep using it, until it is no longer supported in a few years, at which time you can then download, the then, current ISO version, and switch to Windows 10, because you already have the digital license, and will not need to pay for one later.
The free upgrade offer is ending this Friday the 29th of July 2016.
