'Windows 11 free upgrade may end in mid-2022, and the offer will expire soon'

Free upgrades to Windows 11 may end in mid-2022

While it's not official yet, speculation that Microsoft may end the free upgrade offer actually comes from Windows and Devices Chief Product Officer Panos Panay statement.

He inadvertently hinted in a recent Microsoft blog post that this free upgrade offer may end before the summer of 2022.

Today, we’re excited to share that Windows 11 upgrade offers are beginning to enter their final phase of availability, moving us ahead of our initial plan for mid-2022.

The statement also includes a footnote indicating that it applies to devices with a Microsoft account (Home Edition MSA) and with qualifying builds and compatibility.

While we can’t say for sure if this is what he intended to announce, this could actually mean that Microsoft is considering ending the free upgrade offer for Windows 10 Home users.

#But even if you're planning to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 later this year, there's no reason to panic.

Even though the context suggests that Windows 11’s free availability may end in mid-2022, the information provided on Microsoft’s official upgrade page suggests otherwise.

Under the FAQ section at the bottom of the page, there's an answer provided by the tech giant that sheds more light on the issue.

Redmond officials stated that the free upgrade offer does not have a specific end date for eligible systems, but Microsoft reserves the right to eventually terminate support for the free offer.

It is also mentioned that this will not be earlier than October 5th, which will mark one year since the official launch of the operating system.
