You may or may not still get 10 for free, but you first have to see if 10 is compatible with your device.
The free upgrade to Windows 10 offer from Microsoft expired on the 29th July, 2016.
You will have to contact MS support and they may be able to assist you with a free upgrade to 10..

If you read those Microsoft's system requirements for 10, you will find that if you only go on them you will be sadly disappointed in performance.
For reasonable performance should have at least:
2 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor.
4 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 8 GB for 64-bit
500GB hard drive
DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver

Detailed information on Minimum hardware requirements:

Some Manufacturers have listed Model Numbers tested with 10 at their website:

Dell computers tested for Windows 10 November 2019 Update and previous versions of Windows 10
HP Products Tested with Windows 10
Lenovo devices tested for Windows 10 version 1809 (October 2018
Samsung - Find out if your system runs Windows 10.
Sony - What do I need to install Windows 10 on my PC?

If you are go the upgrade path to 10 at least make a system image backup for two reasons.
1. Some people report they don't get the free upgrade and want to reinstall 7.
2. If you don't do the system checks and 10 is incompatible with your device and it becomes inoperable.
These are quite good programs to use for Complete PC Backup and are free:
