14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft launched the Anniversary Update for Windows 10 on August 2 with lots of improvements, including better accessibility features that make the operating system easier to use even for those who need assistive technologies.
And in a video rolled out a few hours ago, Microsoft highlights the accessibility improvements that it made in Windows 10 Anniversary Update, trying to point out that this is the operating system that empowers people to be more productive even if they need such features.
In the meantime, it’s important to know that Windows 10 continues to be offered as a free upgrade to users with assistive technologies even though the promo ended on July 29 for everyone else.
Although this is a loophole that many can use to upgrade their Windows 7 and 8.1 computers to Windows 10 even if they’re not using assistive tech, Microsoft doesn’t seem to be too bothered about it and keeps it available without a deadline.
“We have not announced an end date of the free upgrade offer for customers using assistive technology. We will make a public announcement prior to ending the offer,” the company explains.
If you’re already on Windows 10 and want to install the Anniversary Update, you can check for the update in Windows Update or force the install with the Media Creation Tool here, which also allows you to create installation media for other devices.
