I don't see them extending it? Just my opinion. No real benefit to doing it from what I can see. If you haven't taken them up on the offer by then, you never will. Plus the odds of somebody coming into possession of a PC still running Windows 7 or 8, and wanting to upgrade it to 10 will be low. The bean counters will be pushing for them to start charging for it. It won't be long and 10 will be all you can easily buy if your buying it for a you built it PC. 7 is almost impossible to buy from a retailer, and 8/8.1 isn't far behind.
From my personal testing, Windows 7 users have it easy compared to Windows 8 users as far as the Get Windows 10 prompts go. I hadn't even logged in for the first time on a clean install of Windows 8.1 before being prompted to upgrade to Windows 10. And they were relentless after that. It was almost impossible to run Windows update without tripping over the upgrade. On a clean install of Windows 7 I didn't see anything until I manually launched the GWX App. Even then, all I did was wait for the new screen, with the actual decline option on it to show up. Clicked that, declined the offer, and haven't see a thing since. It may be easier to just let the latest GWX App actually install, and decline the offer. Than to continually try and block it from installing in the first place. I'm just going to leave my Windows 7 install running and have a look see every so often to see if it prompts again. It's been days with no nag screens so far.
