- jsmith45 5y agoThe "limited time" free upgrade to Windows 10 apparently still works to this day, so I strongly doubt Windows 11 will be any different.
- hulitu 5y agoYeah. Uncle Sam wants you.
- IntrepidWorm 5y agoThis is probably an intentional oversight by Microsoft. Nobody wants to have to deal with Windows 7 anymore, so leaving an option for people to upgrade for free allows the continued obsolescence of that OS (yes, I know the official support was discontinued, but it still looks bad on Microsoft if a bunch of Windows 7 devices suddenly get exposed to an 0-day).
- hulitu 5y agoI don't want to have to deal with windows10.
- aksss 5y agoIs that true? I knew about the “accessibility” workaround but thought they closed the door on that move as well.
- noisem4ker 5y agoSure it is. Just enter a Windows 7 or 8 key and the installer will proceed, showing how that time-limited opportunity for a free upgrade story was always a farce and a scummy marketing lie.
