Thanks for reposting this article. One of the best things I did last year was to upgrade from Win 8.1 to Win 10. Many of my "acquaintances" has heard me talking about the OS and my experiences with it and some of them woke up last week Thursday to the idea of upgrading to Win 10 and requested my assistance but unfortunately for most of them it was a very busy day at work for me and I only managed to perform two upgrades due to only having the one Win10 DVD on me. People on FOMO is just so funny! :crylaugh: :crylaugh:
 
Glad the free upgrade offer period is gone. Maybe we'll stop seeing these offer ads everywhere
