Microsoft are closing the free Windows 10 upgrade offer for people using the accessibility features:

November 5, 2017 at 1:01 am #13288I did not know that was still going. Was there not a workaround to allow any one to use the offer that was not totally illegal but a little dubious.

November 5, 2017 at 3:06 am #13290Yeah, this was it. As long as you were using some kind of accessibility feature you could still get the free upgrade.

November 5, 2017 at 8:32 am #13293Recently I paid £3.69 for W10 Pro and £2.99 for Office 2016 Pro + on E-Bay
Prices vary from that low up to a tenner each and I’ve bought over a dozen this year. No problems at all but you must do a clean install.
November 5, 2017 at 11:21 am #13299That’s a shame, but as Dave says, it can be had for pennies. I got one of the cheap office suites for a couple of pound when Dave last posted about it.
I didn’t really need it, I just wanted to see it it actually worked. Given office pro would once cost about £600, or whatever it was back in the day.
The only office I think I ever bought was office 2003, and that was via uni. So was only £30 iirc. I also got I think 2005 (if that was one), but that was given to us by the local high school, evey pupil got a full licence, for a year or two. I thin MS was making one of thier pushes to keep office the processing suite of choice for the next set of kids.
I had all the product keys written down, office and windows, but my eldest lad lost the paper. my 10s of win 7 product keys and two office suite keys lost forever. ?
