It might! I do know the period to get Windows 10 for free is over and I’m not being allowed to upgrade to Windows 10 or get the iso on the Windows machine, but I may still have the key for the Windows 7 to use their suggestions. I am a bit concerned about Microsoft getting litigious about it though. As Adobe is considering people using old versions of Photoshop as not having permission.
You might be able to. Microsoft kept the Windows 10 upgrade page for a good long while, so it might still be possible.
As Adobe is considering people using old versions of Photoshop as not having permission.
Realistically, as a non-solicitator, I can’t see them winning that argument. People paid for that version of Photoshop, and are using it. They’re not using it to sneak into some special upgrade programme.
It would be like Sony showing up to your house to confiscate all your CDs, because its old enough they decided that you no longer have permission to own the thing.
Crunchyroll removed digital content that people paid for after absorbing Funimation, and I think some streaming companies pulled movies/music that people had bought. And Adobe also didn’t pay Pantone some fees the company wanted so if people using Photoshop didn’t pay up the Pantone colours in their finished art turned black. (Stuart Semple released a plugin called Freetone to fix it.)
So I don’t know :(
If I had more organisation/energy/braincells I would just go Linux as recommended and have open source versions of everything
