Can I upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 for free?

Unfortunately, Windows Vista upgrade to Windows 7 for free is not available anymore. I believe that closed around 2010. If you can get your hand on an old PC that has Windows 7 on it, you can use the license key from that PC to get a “free” legitimate copy of a Windows 7 upgrade on your machine.
