1/2/2017 UPDATE: As of writing this comment, you can still get Windows 10 for as of early 2017. I made a tutorial back in July 2016 showing how to upgrade from Windows 7 and Windows 8 to Windows 10 after the "official" July 2016 deadline, and that tutorial still stands.
This tutorial applies for users of Windows 7 or Windows 8 looking to upgrade to Windows 10. Windows 10 comes in different versions (Home, Professional, Enterprise) and depending on which version of Windows 7 you are using (Starter, Basic, Home Premium, Professional or Enterprise) or Windows 8 (Home or Pro) this will affect which version of Windows 10 you install. Make sure you select the right version of Windows 10 along with the correct 32-bit or 64-bit denotation. Windows 10 can be installed using an automated process through Microsoft or the ISO file can also be downloaded and placed onto a USB/CD/DVD and installed on a computer that way (if preferred). The latter method is best when installing Windows 10 on a different computer.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Samsung.
