  • A Microsoft blog post has been written about the free Windows 11 upgrade
  • It mentions that the upgrade is for a ‘limited time only’
  • This could be read as a hint that Microsoft will drop the free offer when Windows 10 expires later this year

In an interesting turn of events, perhaps in an effort to increase the pressure on Windows 10 users to upgrade, Microsoft has issued a vague suggestion that the free upgrade to Windows 11 might expire, possibly at the same time support runs out for the older OS.

Neowin noticed that Microsoft has penned a blog post which advises Windows 10 users that they need to carefully mull their options considering that support is discontinued on October 14, 2025. And naturally, one of those choices is to upgrade to Windows 11 (another is to pay for an extended program of updates for a year, an option that’s not been available to consumers in the past, just businesses).
