If you’ve been waiting to claim your free Windows 10 upgrade using the “assistive technologies” exception, you need to act soon. In a quiet change to an obscure web page, Microsoft announced this week that those exceptions will end on December 31, 2017.
On July 29, 2016, Microsoft officially ended the Get Windows 10 program, which offered free Windows 10 upgrades to anyone currently running a supported earlier version of Windows.
But the company left a giant loophole in a separate announcement at the same time.Under the terms of that announcement, individuals who use “assistive technologies” received an automatic extension of the free upgrade offer.
The general Upgrade to Windows 10 FAQ page has also been revised to include the expiration date for this offer. That page has a “last reviewed” date of October 24, 2017.
