Where can I get installation files for Windows 10? PCs that have a license to run Windows XP or Windows Vista are not eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 10. For details, see 'Here's how you can still get a free Windows 10 upgrade.'Īs of late May 2020, readers have confirmed to me that this procedure still works. You'll need to download the installation files and run the Setup program from within Windows or use the Upgrade Assistant available from Microsoft's accessibility page. The good news is that you can still upgrade to Windows 10 on a device that has a license for Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.
