Microsoft is giving you a new PC if it can’t install Windows 10 on your machine

The free Windows 10 upgrade is nearing its deadline and it looks like Microsoft is pulling all the stops to get the last minute stragglers to upgrade, at least those in Canada and in the U.S. WinBeta reports that Microsoft is taking an in-person approach to getting people to upgrade for free. What you need to do is bring in your old PC into a Microsoft Store and have them upgrade in front of you. If your PC isn’t ready by the end of the day, they’ll give you a free Dell Inspiron 15.

Of course there are conditions to this. The old PC must be capable of running Windows 10, meaning it meets minimum system requirements and you have to check it into the Answer Desk by noon local time for the “bet” with Microsoft to be valid. It’ll run until July 29^th or until supplies last. If your machine isn’t compatible, you can recycle it for $150 credit towards a new PC. There’s also $20 off of Office 365 Home when you upgrade to Windows 10. You might also be eligible to win an Xbox One when you upgrade in the store but you have to ask them about this.
