Microsoft agaon sent the message about the end of support for win7 yesterday. When I read more, the msg also said that while it is possible to upgrade on an older pc, it is not advisable. What does everyone think about that.
Also, can win7 upgrade to 10 for $0 with current key? I think I read that somewhere but don't recall where. Thanks.

Image your OS drive backup all your data and try the insider windows 10. If it works spend the money on a the OS if not get a new PC with win 10 on it.
You may still be able to upgrade for free many have said it still works.
