Windows 10 now end of life. How to upgrade to Windows 11 free?

Windows 10 end of life, Why? Microsoft wants users to transition to Windows 11, which offers improved security features, better performance, and modern capabilities aligned with current hardware and software standards. Older OS versions eventually become less secure and less compatible with new hardware and software. Ending support reduces these risks and encourages users to stay updated.

If your hardware is compatible, upgrade to Windows 11 for continued support before Windows 10 end of life, security updates, and new features.  If your hardware isn’t compatible with Windows 11, consider upgrading your hardware or installing a supported version of Windows 10 (if still available before the end date).

If upgrading Windows isn't feasible, consider Linux distributions like Ubuntu or Fedora, which are free and receive regular security updates. While support is active, you can continue using Windows 10, but be aware that security and support will no longer be available after the end date.
