Hello so one of my cousin has a very very old computer and its still xp, i would tell them to get a basic new pc but i can’t atm since what is going on atm in the world both of the parents in their family have stopped working since march coz they are high risk. so they are trying to use the pc to generate some side income and i feel having a windows 10 will help them instead of xp since windows 7 itself will never get any updates now I wanted to see if there is a way to get windows 10 for free without spending money? Thanks ---

Hi, ask him to go to setting and check for updates if it shows Windows 10 could be installed then its good else download and install the windows 10 from Microsoft Store and connect it to internet and rename the attached file extension from .txt to .bat and run it as administrator and the windows will be activated. - List item[activation.txt](https://onehack.st/uploads/short-url/h5aOruj6R1QL72KpyXQPHinxfbw.txt) (3.5 KB) ---
