I am assuming current Windows 10 users will automatically receive the new 
update through Windows Update?

Kind Regards,

Subject: [access-uk] Windows 10 still free to screenreader users

http://www.techspot.com/news/65792-microsoft-offering-free-windows-10-upgrades.html

Quote from the article:

Microsoft is continuing to offer free Windows 10 upgrades to those who use 
assistive technologies, such as a screen narrator or magnifier.
The best part? Microsoft isn't checking to see whether you are actually using 
these assistive tools, so basically anyone can still get a free upgrade.

The process for upgrading in this way is simple. Head to Microsoft's 
accessibility website, download the program that's listed on their upgrade 
page, and then install your free Windows 10 update.

Currently there is no end date to the free Windows 10 upgrade program for 
assistive tool users, but Microsoft will make "a public announcement prior to 
ending the offer."

One of the main reasons behind this upgrade offer is the Windows 10 Anniversary 
Update, which launches tomorrow and includes new accessibility features. 
Microsoft wants to ensure that Windows users who require assistive technologies 
get the best experience, and the ideal way to do this is to run the latest 
version of Windows 10.
