Microsoft clarifies that the free Windows 11 upgrade will not have a time limit, debunking previous confusion caused by a blog post hinting otherwise. The software giant has removed the post that caused the misunderstanding, emphasizing that users can upgrade to Windows 11 even after Windows 10 support ends in October 2025. While Microsoft aims to increase Windows 11 adoption rates, it is reassuring users that the free upgrade offer will remain available for an extended period. Gamers have shown more enthusiasm towards Windows 11, making it more popular than Windows 10 on Steam. Windows 10 users are advised to start planning for the upgrade to Windows 11, ensuring compatibility by addressing potential hardware requirements like enabling TPM 2.0. This incident serves as a reminder for users to stay informed and prepare for the transition to the latest operating system.
