I'm one of those that waits until the last minute to perform a computer "upgrade", and have been running Win7pro on my main home computers. This month, Microsoft is ending support for Win7. When "WIN10" was new, Microsoft offered a free "upgrade". With some of the Win10 issues seen, I did not bother.
I did a google search on "upgrade WIN7 to WIN10" and came up with this article:
Even though it is not advertised, Microsoft still updates WIN7 to WIN10. I just ran the upgrade on two machines running Win7Pro. Both worked flawlessly, my accounts, icons, programs- all working.
I used Macrium Reflect to do a "stand-alone-backup" of my main machine before running the upgrade, just in case.
SO- if you are running Win7, and want to keep using a supported OS- worth taking a look at.

Can you still get a Windows 10 upgrade for free?
Microsoft's much-hyped free upgrade offer for Windows 10 ended years ago, but it took more than seven years before the company finally updated its activation servers. Here's what upgraders can expect now.
