Yes. You can still upgrade to Windows 11 from Windows 10 for free now as Windows 11 is much better.

Pros of Upgrading to Windows 11:

Modern UI & Design – Windows 11 has a cleaner, more centered Start Menu, rounded corners, and improved animations.

Better Performance & Efficiency – Optimized for newer CPUs, better multitasking with Snap Layouts, and improved gaming features like DirectStorage and Auto HDR.

Security Improvements – Requires TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, making it more secure against malware.

Longer Support – Windows 10 reaches end-of-life in October 2025, while Windows 11 will be supported for years beyond.

You will receive notification asking you to upgrade to Windows 11 from Windows 10 if your PC is compatible with the minimal system requirements.

Final Verdict:

If your PC supports it and you want the latest features, upgrading is a good idea.

If you're happy with Windows 10 and depend on stability, wait until closer to the 2025 deadline.
