MS Will Keep Windows 10 Completely Free for Users with Assistive Tech
Microsoft has announced that the July 29 end date of the free Windows 10 upgrade promo does not apply to users with assistive technologies, so they’ll continue to be allowed to install the new operating system without paying for a license.

“As you may have heard, the free Windows 10 upgrade offer for customers running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 is set to end on July 29, but we want to clarify that that deadline will *not* apply to customers who use assistive technologies. We are continuing to deliver on our previously-shared vision for accessibility for Windows 10 and we are committed to ensuring that users of assistive technologies have the opportunity to upgrade to Windows 10 for free as we do so,” Microsoft said.

At W10 promotion in a mall around here, 1000 licenses were given away to visitors.
