The free upgrade to windows 10 still available. I did'nt know why windows do this, but in my search of this category i found these
one, a perfect PR
two, more not support to piracy software
three, minimali cost
four, estabilish platform

who get it:
not every Windows 7 or 8.1 user will get a free upgrade. enterprise editions of both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 are excluded from the upgrade offer, though ‘Pro’ editions are included.

If you don't qualify for the free upgrade you have to buy the full install version either retail or OEM.
