If I own Windows 7, can I upgrade it to Windows 10 for free?

Dear Sirs,

Many sites decry the fact that the automatic license activation after upgrading Windows 7 to Windows 10 still works. And indeed it is enabled but for people who have purchased a BOX version of the key or are disabled.

Answer to:
Upgrade windows 7 to 10 – if I have windows 7 can I upgrade it to windows 10 for free?

The unequivocal answer: NO. Upgrading Windows 7 to Windows 10 in this way will not be correct.
Such a license will be illegal.

Please see the link to Microsoft, where it is clearly written in the first 3 questions:

Is it still possible to take advantage of the free upgrade offer if Windows 10 has already been downloaded to your drive, but you have not yet upgraded your device?

All upgrades must be completed and reach the Welcome Screen by 11:59 p.m. UTC-10 (Hawaii) on July 29, 2016; this is a worldwide deadline.”

Now such an update will be inconsistent with the license and tantamount, for example, to buying a “pirated” version on an allegro.

In this situation, after updating and activation by update, you can use Windows 10 but it is an illegal copy. In this case, you need to buy a Windows 10 BOX license. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 – we are able to help with this.
