Really?

Yeah, they announced this in June that you can't upgrade for free anymore since July (18th I think). Pretty sure you can still upgrade for free if you have Windows 10 reserved though. Don't quote me on that though.

No, you're wrong. You can still upgrade your genuine Windows 7 to Windows 10. Go and check URL below.

Sure, if you have an accessibility software or equipment that is not Windows 10 ready yet. It will cost you less to buy Windows 10 full retail price, maybe even 2 licenses, then to buy such software or equipment to try and get the OS for cheaper.

You had a year to get it for free, that wasn't enough time?

Windows 10 home is about 2,300 rand just for one licence.
