      This is the thread where we dug into it and determined that Windows 8 was not an option because support had expired. Currently supported is a requirement for the Windows 10 license.

        I'll post it again here for easy reference.

        Windows 10 Upgrade applicability:

        What is genuine:

            A free upgrade did, there has always been one, then replaced by another. The free upgrade process has always been there, but there have been three or four different programs for it. So yes, lots of expired. But overall free upgrades have never expired.

            So many threads on that here 😉

                Non-genuine and unsupported are different in my eyes, but whatever Microsoft

                  Maybe Balmer was beating on a keyboard for that one.

                                        yeah I'm looking forward to what my one user will see.

                                        We have two Win7 and one Win XP (not counting any possible embedded systems - I know the Ultrasound machine is Windows underneath, but don't recall what version) still running here - soon to be one and one. Both needed for legacy EHR stuff, they'll be moving to a non-internet accessible network leg shortly.

                                          We have one that forced an update this morning and now isn't coming up. That's going to be fun.
