Re: Is Windows 11 upgrade free as windows 10 will end of support soon?

How to Windows 11 upgrade free?

1. Ensure Your Windows 10 Is Up to Date
Go to Settings > Windows Update and install all available updates.

2. Use Windows Update to Upgrade
Once your hardware is compatible and Windows 10 is up to date:
Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update
If your device is eligible, you'll see a message like “Upgrade to Windows 11 is ready” or similar.
Click Download and install.

3. Use the Installation Assistant 
If the upgrade isn't offered via Windows Update:
Visit the Windows 11 installation page.
Download the Windows 11 Installation Assistant and run it to upgrade.

4. Create Installation Media
If you want a clean install:
Download the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft's site.
Create a bootable USB or DVD.
Use it to install or upgrade Windows 11.

Important Notes:

  • Windows 11 upgrade free for eligible Windows 10 devices.
  • If your device doesn’t meet hardware requirements, you might need to upgrade hardware or stick with Windows 10 (which will be supported until October 14, 2025).
  • Be cautious about bypassing hardware checks; unsupported devices may face issues or lack security updates.
