Microsoft is going to great lengths to get users to upgrade to Windows 10. Their latest is giving away free laptops. The promotion works by going into a Microsoft store and letting one of the company's techs handle the upgrade process. Customers with computers running Microsoft 8 and which meet certian hardware requirments can drop it off their machines by noon and if the upgrade to Windows 10 i snot finished by the end of the day.by the end of the business day, customers will receive a free Dell’s Inspiron 15, worth $250.

Microsoft’s pushy Windows 10 upgrade tactics have finally come back to haunt them. Travel agency owner Teri Goldstein swears up and down that she didn’t want the upgrade and never asked for it, either. She told the Seattle Times she had never heard of Windows 10— not until she found it installed on her system and it started crashing on a regular basis. That’s not the sort of thing you need happening to a computer that you use to run your small business.
Microsoft might be making one final push to scare you into upgrading to Windows 10 while it’s still free, but there’s a silver lining to that annoying cloud. Yes, come July 29th, even though a steep $119 price increase is on the cards, Microsoft has said that they will discontinue all that bothersome “Get Windows 10” business that keeps popping up on your Windows 7 or 8.1 machine. WinBeta’s Zac Bowden was curious what would happen once the free upgrade program came to an end, so he contacted Microsoft for clarification. According to Geek.com, Microsoft responded by saying the "nagware" “will be disabled and eventually removed from PCs worldwide.”
Still running ye'olde Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 on your PC? Well, Microsoft wants to change that. It will tolerate your disobedience, but it will gently nudge you into installing Windows 10 — and by gently, we mean tirelessly and constantly. On Thursday, the company announced a number of changes to the way upgrading to Windows 10 works. Furthermore, Windows 10 will "soon" become an "Optional Update" in Windows Update for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users. Finally, Microsoft is making some changes for users running non-Genuine (pirated) versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
