You have shown disgusting attitude towards others. Really suggest you get off your high throne, first claiming you are in the ‘top 10% of computer savvy users’ but shown nothing to back that up and then slating others. You have posted two very similar threads that have been done to death, and you are suggesting using Assistive Technologies to get a free Windows 10 upgrade, which was actually someone else’s suggestion in your own thread that you put down because it ‘needs Windows 7 or 8 media’ and if you do that you’re abusing it - now if you or anyone else wants to do that, fine but don’t publicise it, just as if you pirate software

This is so old and well-known it's like posting "Regular Amazon customers who spend £20 or over can get delivery at no cost". :joy:

You say that but when I mentioned it this morning somebody immediately popped up & said 'thanks, I didn't know that'
Most of us here are trying to help people

I agree, if one person has had benefit out of the post then it has to be a good thing.

I actually only found this “deal” out myself a few days ago, when after doing a full restore on my computer it rolled back to windows 8.1 and wouldnt let me add new users. After a google search it shown me how to update to windows 10 for FREE, using the same method in op’s post and that solved the user issue.
Not everyone knows about this method - so its worthy of a post.

Agreed .Also some users only visit the site occasionally and not every day like many, and may have missed it as well...

I think we (and the world in general ) know this :disappointed: Its not a new "deal" its a long running "old" deal . By the way , Man has landed on the Moon (allegedly :astonished: )

this is not a new deal, in fact its not a deal at all, its a fudge. it deserves to be merged with any other post that references the update using assistive technologies.

basically you're happy to deny people this knowledge?
because when a new thread gets merged it disappears, we all know that
so if you weren't there (say) 10 months ago, [email protected] you, we don't care?
yet plenty of people would love to get the knowledge they can update to Windows 10 for free

its a repost, reposts get merged, like a deal, of which this isnt.

I upgraded using this process a few months ago and the PC never worked quite right again. I am wary about upgrading my new PC as 8.1 is fine and don’t want to go through all that again.

I've upgraded alot of laptops, desktops & tablets over the last few years using this method and all are fine so I wouldn't worry might just be a dodgy driver unique to that system causing you trouble.

I'll stick with Windows 95. It cost me a lot of dosh back then and I want to get my money's worth.

It is time to move on. I strongly recommend Windows XP.
