While Supercell has continued to release mobile games, they only managed to reach the Clash of Clans’ level of popularity with Brawl Stars.

While Clash of Clans and Clash Royale are, in their essence, strategy games, Brawl Stars is an action, fast-paced game that comes with lots of modes and events that engage players in epic battles and fights. Also noteworthy, Brawl Stars takes advantage of the popularity of Battle Royale genre since it offers one game mode, Showdown, that focuses on Battle Royale.

With a 3D top-down in-game perspective, Brawl Stars offer a unique experience to mobile gamers. Also, Supercell’s latest release is free to play, but it also contains paid content. Thanks to in-app purchases, players can buy gems, crates to open (they offer additional in-game content), and so on.

Microsoft had a big time in 2018 because, besides the fact that it gained recognition as the most valuable company in the world, they also offered a free upgrade to Windows 10 for a period of time, and now the Windows 10 is the most popular operating system, surpassing Windows 7 with a 39.22 percent yearly market share.

After the free boost program was launched, Microsoft declared that the program was going to be available until July 29, 2016, but later next year, in November 2017, the tech giant announced that the offer was lengthened until December that year. However, beginning with last year, you can still use the upgrade for free even though Microsoft clearly stated that the expiration date is final this time. January 6, 2018, was the last day of the assistive technology being free but the page is still functional until today!

You can still upgrade to Windows 10 for free

Users who lost the chance to upgrade the Windows 10 for free, will never want to pay $199 to get the latest variant of the Windows. However, upon checking, it has been discovered that the assistive technologies upgrade page is still available. You won’t have the tool that upgrades your operating system to Windows 10 for free because it has already been deleted, but some of the users declared they were still able to install their OS for free, with just a few alternative solutions. All that you need would be a licensed version of an older Windows OS installed on your system.

Even if Windows 10 is the most popular operating system in the world, it still has serious competition in the Mac OS, and if Microsoft can get more users to stay with their operating system or shift to it, the company will most certainly benefit. The free upgrade was commenced by the company to gain as many users as possible, and it was a success as more than 1.96 billion users have Windows 10 on their computers.

In conclusion, if the free upgrade is still available, only Microsoft can answer that question. However, with just a few adjustments, one can upgrade to Windows 10 by utilizing Windows 7 or 8. If you want the Windows 10 but you don’t want to pay for it, you can try a few workarounds to see if it will work for you or not.
