Everywhere I look I see "the free update period ends on July 29th". Well, okay. Would that be on July 29th, 00:00:00 GMT+0, July 29th, 23:59:59 GMT+0 or some other obscure time? Even Microsoft's FAQ page only states the date, not the hour.
What is the exact time (within one hour error margin) of the free Windows 10 upgrade period end?
P.S.: Due to unforeseen circumstances, I need to know the exact time, so I can plan a trip to upgrade a machine at a remote location (read: one of my non-tech savvy relatives is terribly indecisive).

Do it on the 28th.
What are you going to do if the servers happened to go down prior to the 29th and they don't bother fixing them? – djsmiley2k TMW – 2016-07-26T09:30:34.507
2shrug Unless you're paid an ungodly amount of money, this isn't worth the pain. If they don't want an upgrade, leave it be. If they want the upgrade, you can always backup, and upgrade, then roll back. Leaving it to the exact hour is... kinda silly especially since you never know if your update will work out, or will be a pain. – Journeyman Geek – 2016-07-26T09:33:05.967
@Geek, true, but you know...it is family. It would be nice to at least know if this thing ends at the start of 29th or the end of the day. – predi – 2016-07-26T12:14:39.183
Ask Microsoft, they are the only people who can answer this off-topic question – DavidPostill – 2016-07-26T13:32:36.613
@predi i really dont see how that matters...? – djsmiley2k TMW – 2016-07-27T17:03:06.067
@djsmiley2k, you don't see how what matters? – predi – 2016-07-27T17:06:47.220
