Re: microsoft seams to be providing win7 updates to accessibility users!

It's still possible to upgrade from 7 or 8 to 10. If you use the Media Creation tool to have it upgrade your computer, you'll get a copy of Windows 10 that will automatically activate once installed, provided you had an activated copy of 7 or 8. Once this initial upgrade is finished, the computer will always activate automatically as long as you install the correct edition of Windows 10.

I've also observed that it's possible to activate a clean install of Windows 10 by using the product key that's written on the computer, even if it was originally running 7. ust make sure to match the editions. If the machine was running Windows 7 Home Premium, you want 10 Home. Windows 7 Pro upgrades to Windows 10 Pro, etc.

Are there serious limitations if you don't activate 10? I thought it would continue to work, and you'd continue receiving patches and major updates. The only exception I'm aware of is the inability to use the personalization settings and a nag message in the Settings app to activate Windows.
