Upgrading Links

Will Windows 11 Be Free Upgradeable?

Microsoft is finally going to announce its next-generation Windows, and its event is going to be held on June 24th. And many Windows 10 users are asking whether they will get a free upgrade to Windows 11?

Windows 10 was the only version in Microsoft history that allowed Windows 7 and Windows 8 users to upgrade for free. However, if you are a user of Windows 7 and Windows 8 then you can still upgrade to Windows 10.

But the question is, will you be allowed to upgrade to Windows 11 for free?
According to Microsoft’s senior analyst Michael Cherry, “Currently running the supported version of Windows will be offered for a free upgrade or a discount.”

We expect that Microsoft will upgrade their current Windows operating system, and if we check the Windows rival MacOS, they provide free upgrades when it gets new releases. However, we can’t say for sure that Microsoft will do this with Windows 7 or Windows 8, but if you have Windows 10 then you should upgrade to the latest Windows 11.

According to the leaked version of Windows 11, it is still running on Windows 10 build with just newer UX. So wait until 24th June 2021 for the Microsoft event.
