Microsoft ends its free Windows 10 upgrades December 31st
Remember that loophole to upgrade to Windows 10 for free? It appears the end of that deal is coming on December 31. So if you still want to update an older version of Windows towards Windows 10 for free, now is the time.
If you check the Windows 10 FAQ page, Microsoft states no-cost upgrade will expire at the end of the year. The new text was apparently added in the last update to the page on October 24. The change is also now reflected on Microsoft's Assistive Technologies page in the first paragraph. So Microsoft obviously feels accessibility is where it needs to be for users that need it to make a Windows 10 choice. So if you qualify for assistive technologies, you better make your decision whether to upgrade before December 31.
That's not to say that Windows users don't have a few clever ways to upgrade, however. It remains possible that users may continue to install Windows 10 as an upgrade with an unused Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 product key. We'll see.

If you can't download Chrome to your system then you're doing something wrong...Windows will never block Chrome from being installed.

WIndows 10 x64 1607 enterprise remains the best OS for me. HDR videos work just fine with madvr and on games. Gets all the latest security updates with no stuttering or game bar nonsense either. Still can access the control panel from right clicking the start menu too.
Creators and fall creators update is just terrible.
