Microsoft has addressed the issue of the free Windows 11 upgrade expiring, causing speculation around the future of the offer. The tech giant mentioned the upgrade is for a limited time, leading to assumptions that the free offer could end when Windows 10 support expires in October 2025. While the ambiguity of the statement leaves room for interpretation, it is seen as a tactic to prompt users to transition to Windows 11. The slow adoption rate of Windows 11 raises questions about the effectiveness of withdrawing the free upgrade offer. Microsoft’s history of extending similar offers beyond initial deadlines suggests a potential for loopholes or alternative provisions to facilitate the transition. Despite uncertainties, the push for upgrading to Windows 11 remains clear.
