free upgrade after july 29th.. sorry.. you waited too late

<div>
Yes, you have waited too late. <br />
<br />
You need to test a few machines. <br />
<br />
&nbsp;Windows 7 machines (especially older ones) have legacy and incompatible software. You need to remove this and test. <br />
&nbsp;The likelihood you could mass upgrade 50+ old machines and come out fine is nearly zero.<br />
<br />

I have done a few of them doing the year to test out the systems they are all the same make and model systems, I have a large conference room to set them all up on and upgrade all at the same time
</div>


<div>
The older the system and the more dissimilar, the more you need to look individually. I have had much different results on different systems. For the most part, any Windows 7 machine that will run Windows 10 had to have a fresh install of Windows 10 to get rid of legacy apps (vendor apps, vendor driver helpers, old antivirus and so on).

<div>
Note that if you burn 10 DVDs and then do 10 systems at a time, you should be able to do 50 systems fairly quickly -- in 2-3 days assuming they're all available. &nbsp; But you DO need to get started on this NOW !!
</div>


<div>
Agree with John =&gt; &nbsp;If your Windows 7 systems are working well, it's unlikely there's any compelling reason to switch; &nbsp;and it's almost certain you'll be replacing them before the end of extended support for '7 (2020).<br />
<br />
Windows 10 works very nicely at this point, but the simple fact the upgrade is free is not by itself a good reason to do it.

Network admins can do it this way:<br />
Extract the ISO to a share (\\server\share) using 7zip.<br />
Configure a startup script or scheduled task:<br />
for keeping progs, settings and data:<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41717322-1"><span>\\server\share\setup.exe /auto upgrade</span>
</code></pre>
--<br />
for keeping only data<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41717322-2"><span>\\server\share\setup.exe /auto dataonly</span>
</code></pre>
--<br />
for not keeping anything apart from the partitioning:<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41717322-3"><span>\\server\share\setup.exe /auto clean</span>
</code></pre>

Windows 10 Upgrade for 50+ systems

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
