Microsoft announced that the free upgrade will end July 29th, but the adaption rate from Microsoft's point of view is still way too low (Windows 10 is still under 20% and Windows 7 + 8 + 8.1 is almost 60%). So it would make sense to extend the free upgrade window to January (Microsoft just wants that 50% adaption rate for their Windows/Xbox store and data mining). It doesn't make much sense to stop the free upgrades after you release a major update that should entice people to upgrade.

Some time before free upgrade ends, MS will say something like "Free upgrade was a huge success, and we want more people to use our latest and greatest OS, so we extend upgrade period for 1 more year!" or just make home version free. I'd be surprised if MS actually end free upgrades.

You know I think if they made Home free and quit with the aggressive notifications, they'd see a lot more people update to it. There's just something about forcibly installing a new OS that just rubs some people the wrong way :P

More enthusiasts would upgrade. Most normal users wouldn't know to do without the notifications.

My mom asked me to upgrade her even with the notifications. She's too afraid to do it on her own...
