I thought the original in-situ upgrade option expired some time ago

Microsoft never actually stopped the upgrade from working, I've upgraded
a dozen, they all activate cleanly.

How though?

I think I remember the original upgrade was offered to you
automatically and then it stopped (being offered) but you may have
been able to still get it by running something yourself. Then I
thought that stopped but you could still actually install W10 using a
W7/8 key, just that you couldn't upgrade?

I don't suppose any of this works on 32 bit anyway:-(
