Hey! Do you know how can I install Windows 10 for free? My computer has Windows 7 and it’s not even like legally bought and installed xd a friend pirated it for me. The thing I started receiving this windows messages to inform that the websites I use to work will stop working soon if I don’t update to Windows 8 at least. Thanks in advance!
hi ! thanks for your ask ^w^
unfortunately you've missed the free official upgrade by quite a few years. :'c win7 is completely unsupported now so it's definitely time to upgrade but i'm surprised at that message tbh.
if you don't mind the "activate windows" watermark and having limited customisation options, you can download it from microsoft and install for free. it only requires a key for a full unlock.
as for less official methods, the typical options used are OEM keys (the ones sold to Dell/HP/Acer etc. which are valid for multiple installations) or cracks that remove the need for a valid key. OEM keys are considered a safer method as running random executables or dropping in random DLLs is a risky practice.
unfortunately i took my free upgrade to W10 (from a cracked W7 install, no less) back in like 2016 and have since switched back to daily driving Linux so i'm not sure of specific places to look. sorry about that ^^'
there's also cheap keys for like £10-15 - i think SmartCDKeys is okay but again there's a few websites like that, some more reputable than others
of course, another option is to switch to Linux (if you don't have any Windows-specific requirements)
hopefully some of this was helpful and i'm sorry i couldn't be more specific :/
