8.1 to Windows 10 Home for free still works.

So I go to my local cigar lounge a few times a week and I bring my OLD Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 with me to enjoy the aromas. I have been running Ubuntu on it for years since it's so old but last week I opened it up, cleaned it, replaced the thermal grease w/ Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut and this thing is flying now. So since Windows 8.1 registered in the bios I installed that and then installed the Windows 10 update and it was all free. It's actually running Windows 10 just as smoothly as my 2017 HP Envy 13 7th gen i5. I also replaced the battery so I'm getting day 1 time usage all over again.

It's good to have a smoking laptop.

Yes, we all noticed that MS is not too picky any more about upgrading to Windows 10 for free.
