Windows 11 price: Would it be a free upgrade?

While Microsoft hasn't discussed Windows 11 downloads, we have certain expectations if a new OS version were to launch. Windows 10 was a significant step in removing the paywall behind future versions of Windows. In contrast, earlier releases demanded users to purchase a paid upgrade, or more commonly, buy a whole new PC with the latest version of Windows pre-installed. Windows 10 offered free upgrades for Windows 7 and Windows 8, incentivizing many users to adopt the newest version, with free updates for years ahead.

If Microsoft were to launch Windows 11, we'd expect the company to offer a similar upgrade program between versions, compatible with all of today's best laptops and PCs. With a new version of the OS assumedly sharing many fundamentals as its predecessor, a seamless upgrade for existing users seems likely, similar to previous larger feature updates for Windows 10. However, just like Windows 10, licenses would also be available for standalone purchase for new OEMs and new installations.

Doesn't sound like they will push the new OS down our throats without our approval, if it's free. Bit they may even be selling it.

Yes, I believe it’s Spanish, which I don’t read. But I would think anyone who clicks on the link would get the same thing as I. Did you click on the link? 8>)

Microsoft has turned into a sick joke—each “upgrade” causes chaos for years...

The “decade” is 18 months old.

Are they bringing clippy back?

> “the biggest changes” of the decade —That sounds ominous. <

Yep. Not “biggest improvements” or “biggest advancements”, but “biggest changes”. That’s weird wording, to say the least.

Thursday? And they just told us now?

That said, it’s easier to take the upgrade than not. If it screws up, they usually fix it fairly quickly.
