You can still download and create an ISO/DVD/USB installation from the tool on this page:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10

Even after the free upgrade has passed, I fully expect that link still to work.

You need to upgrade before that date to ensure that the license is valid to work for Windows 10, but the software installation is going to be available at all times (as it is useless without a valid license). No need to buy a new copy at a later date .

The date by the way is July 29th, not the end of June.
