didn't think about this before, but i am away from my home computers (both running 8.1) and won't be back until after 7/29. i am going to upgrade a desktop and laptop where i am now, but wanted to see if i would be able to upgrade the home computers when i return.
does downloading the creation tool now offer any options to do this? any assistance is greatly appreciated. thanks!
I'm sorry but you missed the train. Unless you have someone at home with access to your computers willing to do that for you, or an unrestricted remote access to your home computers, you have to pay for Windows 10.
The free upgrade offer ends on Friday. That's it.

Oh it might be, but remember upgrading an OS is NOT simple or easy, no matter how much MS said it was, plenty of customers have not been able to get the free upgrade to even work on PCs that was supposedly "ready" for Windows 10.
It might be easy for geeks like us, but not for the general public. Plenty can go wrong and does, if you look at the forums here and MS Community there are tons of horror stories, that include the upgrade resulting in the bricking of the computer.
I have heard that number of Windows 10 installations will NOT meet MS predicted estimates ...so I am guessing that
at some point after the deadline they will once again offer a limited time extension to get Windows 10 free, perhaps around mid-late september.
There ya go.. that's the countdown..
Windows - Microsoft - Windows 10 Free Upgrade Remaining Days..
