How to lock in your free Windows 10 upgrade and keep using your old Windows version

[RV_]

Not sure if you want Windows 10 but don't want to have to pay ~$125.00 later? You can have your cake and eat it too. Read this article.

 

Excerpt:

 

"The year-long free upgrade offer for Windows 10 ends on July 29. But what if you're not ready to upgrade yet? Here's how to claim your upgrade so it's available at no cost when the time comes.

 

Microsoft says the year-long offer will expire on July 29, 2016, which is less than three months from today. After that date, unless a new offer of some sort materializes, you'll need to pay for a Windows 10 upgrade at the prevailing retail price, $119 for a Home upgrade or $199 for the Pro edition.

 

But what if you're not ready to switch to Windows 10 yet? Can you claim your free upgrade and keep using your current Windows version?

 

Yes, you can. And it's not a loophole, nor does it involve any tricks. It merely involves claiming your entitlement under the free upgrade offer and then rolling back to your prior operating system. With that entitlement in place, you can schedule the final upgrade for when you're ready, even if that's after July 29."
