Free upgrade to Windows 11, previously possible from Windows 7 and Windows 8, it has come to an end as stated by Microsoft in the device support center. Upgrading from Windows 10 will continue to work.
We have to go back to the launch of Windows 10, when Microsoft implemented a program that allowed computers to upgrade for free from previous systems, especially Windows 7, which at the time largely dominated the share of desktop systems.
The program was limited in time (one year) and officially closed in July 2016. However, once Windows 10 was found to be falling short of its quota targets (as is now the case with Windows 11), Microsoft took a pragmatic stance and continued to allow free updates. Although it was not officially allowed, months and years later activation servers continued to “swallow” everything that came their way, activating Windows 10 computers and registering them forever.
Microsoft activated another similar program at the launch of Windows 11, but in this case it was limited to computers with a valid Windows 10 license and meeting the hardware requirements, which, as you know, have increased in this version.
Still, free updates continued to work, either directly for Windows 11 or through Windows 10. “Clean” devices also continued to work with retail MSDN/TechNet product keys for Windows 7 or Windows 8, which I personally verified only a month ago when I activated virtual machines where I test unstable builds.
Paul Thurrot says he tested the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview on the Canary channel and activation is no longer possible. It was nice while it lasted, but everything points to that Microsoft turned off the faucet.
Solution. Buying a Windows 1o license guarantees you legalization of Windows at least until the end of its support in October 2025. If you need it, we regularly offer events where you can get Windows 10 license for only 12 euros. These keys are legal and forever, and once activated, you can always stay on Windows 10 or upgrade to Windows 11 for free.
